A literature review is NOT a review without a critical synthesis. But some scholars struggle critically evaluating the sources!
Here's my easy 5-step method ⤵

1️⃣ Theoretical Questions: Peek into the author's mind
2️⃣ Definitional Questions: Are things explained clearly?
3️⃣ Evidence Questions: Is the evidence strong?
4️⃣ Implication Questions: 'So what?'
5️⃣ Other Approaches: Read between the lines!

The R programming language is, in my opinion, the best tool for statistical analysis and data visualization. Its extensive libraries and powerful capabilities make complex data tasks easier and more efficient.

Take a look at the visualizations featured in this post. All graphs were created using R and showcase various statistical analysis results. Looks fantastic, doesn’t it?

Are you looking to take your statistics and R programming skills to the next level? I’ve created a comprehensive course on Statistical Methods in R.

By enrolling in the course, you’ll receive lifetime access to:

- 20 video lessons on statistical methods and their application in R.
- An exclusive group chat for questions, support, and networking.
- Quizzes, projects, scripts, and additional resources to enhance your skills.

If we look at thousands of proteins (i.e., signals) in the human blood, the protein most associated with chronic physical and mental illnesses is the **same protein** as the top marker for mitochondrial diseases: GDF15

When mitochondria cannot flux energy properly, the cell makes and secretes GDF15 in the blood to alert other cells

Some highlight by Cynthia Liu in our group:
- GDF15 is the top predictor for most diseases

- GDF15 associated with diabetes is among the most significant protein-prevalent disease associations
Based on p-value, GDF15 was most significantly associated with disease.

- “GDF15 was associated with the most diseases, containing 205 prevalent and 397 incident diseases, generally acting as a risk factor except for three incident diseases (respiratory diseases affecting the interstitium, disorders of magnesium metabolism, and peripheral artery disease).”

- “GDF15, similar to its high ranking with protein-disease pleiotropy, ranked second for protein-trait associations, boasting a substantial 428 associations.”Significant associations with many lipid metabolite markers.

- Mental disorders like anxiety disorders, depression, and mood disorders, along with mental health-related traits, also exhibited substantial proteomic signatures including elevated GDF15

- “The fluid intelligence score and various types of dementia shared significant proteins such as NEFL and GDF15 (Figure 2G)”

- “GDF15, the protein with pleiotropic effects, was causally associated with several autoimmune diseases, including ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis (Figure 6B).”

The country with one of the lowest obesity rates and highest life expectancy is Japan.

4-5% of their population is classified as obese while Western Nations can exceed 30-40%.

Here are 10 crucial reasons why Japan is one of the healthiest countries in the world:
