@atrupar As my PhD advisor in epidemiology used to say (and had printed in a baseball hat he wore around the office):

WHAT’S THE DENOMINATOR?!?!?

A new report shows that not getting enough physical activity is linked to $192 billion in U.S. health care costs. Being physically active can save money and is one of the best things a person can do to improve their health. #ActivePeople https://t.co/g9ZSKPxgq5

@MMTLPtrch @fmfclips Because its never that simple. See Rothman's Sufficient Cause Model in "Causes" (Am J Epidemiol. 1976;104(6):587–592), and more contemporary comments from VanderWeele (Am J Epidemiol. 2017 May 23;185(11):1041–1043.)

@Kevin_Vu_ @FortWorthReport @CamiloDiazJr @Kevin_Vu_ Would like to ask you a few more questions about this. I am an epidemiologist and researcher and interested in the health effects of the bitcoin mining operation. Please reach out [email protected]

@BioLayne @SBakerMD @paulsaladinomd the results don’t support what is included in the abstract (“higher levels of TC…were associated with reaching 100 years”)

Results were null for TC:

TC 5.9-6.4: reference
TC 6.5-7.1: OR=1.05(0.86-1.29)
TC >=7.2: OR=1.00(0.82-1.23)

@sbakermd do you know how to interpret OR?

@william_m_adams Disgusting. This is not what youth sports is about. If you believe it is, then you have no place teaching or coaching kids. No excuse for this.

If you're training for #muscle strength, power, or hypertrophy, STOP ice bathing after your sessions. It's almost certainly diminishing your returns. 1/5

@DrDavidMarquez It’s relatively easy to build your own with bulk elastic cut to size and simple push clips. Pro tip: be sure to burn ends of the straps to prevent fraying.

Honored to present at the Spanish Obesity Societies @SociedadSeedo 18th National Conference on “The Importance of Physical Activity and Exercise During Childhood”. Excellent science, food, venue, and people!! Thank you for the invitation!

Wow. If this doesn’t give you goosebumps, I don’t know what to tell you.

@jamesheathers @sTeamTraen Ok, I may continue to sound naïve with this question. But one of those journals was Elsevier. I thought the larger publishers didn’t have journals with questionable tactics?
