来自主题: MedicalCareer版 - 请教: confounding bias vs. effect modification
Confounding: A situation in which the effect or association between an
exposure and outcome is distorted by the presence of another variable.
Positive confounding (when the observed association is biased away from the
null) and negative confounding (when the observed association is biased
toward the null) both occur.

* Effect modification : a variable that differentially (positively and
negatively) modifies the observed effect of a risk factor on disease status.

confounding是指一个因素如果和 factor of interest以及effect都有关系,但是又不
是在factor of interest 和 effect 的因果关系上,那么就是confounding factor.
比如说男性肺癌比例高,吸烟可以算作一个confounding factor.因为并不是男性和吸
烟有因果关系,但是两个有关。反而看你的这个问题,OCP和家族病史没有关系,所以
家族病史不是OCP causing breast cancer的confounding factor.

Wrote讲的挺清楚的,我再举个Confounding factors的例子。
“Does prayer lower blood pressure?”根据一个Observational study, 一周去一次
教会并祷告或者阅读圣经的人,和对照组相比,有高血压的可能性要小30%;那么,我们
能得出结论,"prayer lowers blood pressure"吗?
问题是其他的因素可能影响prayer/blood pressure这对factor of interest和effect
。 比如,a, 经常去教会的人可能更少抽烟或喝酒;b. 常去教会的人可能有一个更好
的social support系统;等等。这里的因素a或者b就是confounding factors。
换句话说,和prayer有关系的因素a(少抽烟喝酒)或b (有好的social support system)
都会影响blood pressure; 所以我们在这里无法建立prayer可以lower blood pressure
这个因果关系。
而对LZ这个题来说, 跟wrote讲的一样,OCP和家族史没有关系。... 阅读全帖

confounding的因素去掉以后就没有significant区别了。换句话说就是之前观察到的效

而effect modification和exposure是有效果上的augment的作用。

A third variable can be confounding Only when it is associated with BOTH the
exposure AND the outcome. Association only with exposure or only with
outcome is not sufficient for a factor to be confounding. In other words,
when the Association between an exposure and an outcome is distorted by a
third variable, you got a confounding bias.

在你意料之中也没关系,引起思考就是好事。:)
我就是问一个很简单的问题,那就是,为什么一个只消耗10卡的动作,这么多人都认为
有用呢?
你说是跟motivation有关。
有motivation的人站得多,所以干别的有益于减肥的事情也多,所以表观上看,饭后站
着能帮助减肥。
问题是,motivation这个变量,既跟independent variable相关(站不站),也和
dependent variable相关(能不能减肥),于是成了一个完完全全的大confounding .
我只是觉得confuse,这么多高学历的聪明人,面对这么明显的一个大confounding,从
来没有觉得
"也许站着其实不起作用,起作用的只是motivation吗?"
这也是一个非常合理的alternative啊!

这里把气功,特异功能,都笼统称为人体科学的研究范畴。经历了八九十年代的气功热
之后,90年代之后严打邪教,所以气功(以及特异功能)基本被打入冷宫,虽然至今卫

也就是跟做实验没有什么差别。
区别就是,实验是相对可以控制各项参数,消除那些confounding variables的干扰。
历史不一样,是社会产物,是人。人会说谎,人有虚荣心,人有各种动机来篡改信息,
所以科学的方法论在研究历史问题上就显得尤其重要。
比如说,一个被当前舆论机器所大为传播的历史究竟是不是真的发生,就需要我们去首
先判断,当前的制度力量,和历史那个时代有没有利益冲突。
其次,我们就需要提出一个可以证伪的假说,可以用数据(包括定性定量)加以验证的
假说。
这里说的假说,就是一个科学的态度。那就是,我们必须假定自己是不知道,而不是知
道。
这里说的数据,必须是经过检验的数据,数据本身必须具有可靠性和可重复性。
也就是说,在历史问题上,不能先自己设定一个结论,然后去选择性接受符合自己先入
之见的数据,甚至是不加选择的将任何似乎支持自己定论的都视为可靠数据。
换而言之,任何历史研究,都可以视为开放式的过程,可以经受得起源源不断的各种数
据的冲击,而不是一个静态的结果,只能存活于自己想象中的世界。

的确是比以前吃多了,像某id自述的那样,也不用一家10口人分一听可乐了。。
但是请问,这个生活改善,到底有多少成分是由于邓改革制度带来的?有多少成分是科
技进步带来的呢?要回答这个问题,就要做横向比较,比如说,同期世界上可比国家是
不是也从看黑白电视变成看彩电?这样的可比国家有巴西印度墨西哥。如果这些国家都
经历了类似的变化,那显然你就不能将生活改善的功劳归功于邓改,而是世界大气候使
然。
那么,再来进一步谈物质生活改善的具体细节。比如说喝可乐,这种改善真的有益身心
?喝可乐一定比30年前喝大碗茶喝小香槟汽水好很多?这个是可以讨论的。吃肉是吃多
了,结果出来那么多毒食品,以至于王岐山这样的高官买食品都不放心,这个算是生活
改善还是不算呢?
另外生活既包括物质层面,还包括其他非物质层面。比如说心情,比如说精神生活,安

THE GALAXY, December 1870
MEMORANDA.
BY MARK TWAIN.
RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR.
A few months ago I was nominated for Governor of the great State of New York
, to run against Stewart L. Woodford and John T. Hoffman, on an independent
ticket. I somehow felt that I had one prominent advantage over these
gentlemen, and that was, good character. It was easy to see by the
newspapers, that if ever they had known what it was to bear a good name,
that time had gone by. It was plain that in these latter years t... 阅读全帖

从流体力学来说
并不是体能越大,游得越快
因为体能大,体型也大,阻力也大
——阻力和面积的平方成正比——
所以不一定最有利速度
而且女人的身体滑、圆
男人的身体凹凸很多
这些都是不定的confounding因素

sentiment caused another nationwide upsurge of violence. Then, 50 years
later, the Vietnam War and Civil Rights Movement triggered a third peak in
violent political, social and racial conflict. Fifty years after that will
be 2020. If history continues to repeat... 阅读全帖

if your only aim is to blame doctors, you can always make associations. it
is not doctors' fault that the lifespan of american people is shorter than
that of french people on average. As a doctor, they treat diseases and
advocate healthy lifestyles, but ultimately it's the people who choose
whether they want to live a healthy lifestyle. However, if you talk with
healthy professionals, you will know many patients will continue their
lifestyle, smoking, drinking, using drugs, regardless of how the... 阅读全帖
