More clinical support and advocates are needed for people diagnosed with BPD navigating health care systems! And anti-stigmatization tools are needed to improve patient care

[Ashley Tate @ae_tate]

In the largest, most thorough #borderlinepersonalitydisorder study to date (12,000 diagnosed / 2 million total), we found that BPD was associated with nearly all analyzed psych disorders, physical illnesses, trauma, and adverse behaviors, e.g. self-harm

We also looked at sex differences and the estimates for their full siblings. Results were consistent between males & females. Broadly, full siblings had increased associations w/ everything but physical illnesses

If you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder visit the NEDA website for more information on symptoms and recovery: https://t.co/S1QQR4O64F

[Ashley Tate @ae_tate]

but we did not find evidence of familial coaggregation, i.e. there wasn't an increased risk of family members of T1D patients being diagnosed with an eating disorder. Diabetes clinicians should monitor patients for eating disorder symptoms

Research law #5: anytime you think to yourself that you’ve made great progress on a study, you will immediately find a coding error that means you have to restart your analyses from scratch 😭

@fleurmeddens @OxfordDemSci Congratulations!!

Statistical terms: what they really mean

Multicolinearity— they all look the same
Heteroscedasticity— the variation varies
Attenuation— being too modest
Overfitting— too good to be true
Confounding— nothing is what it seems
P-value— it’s complicated
