inversely correlated I hope?
- xendo 11y agoCorrelated as in 'have a mutual relationship or connection'. I wrote it just because the title was suggesting that stronger legs lead to healthier brain. Whereas the study suggests that healthy lifestyle (better diet, more exercises) lead to healthier brain. Which is to be honest, nothing new.
- skj 11y agoThe term "inversely correlated" is a new one for me, since correlation is two-way, and, as they say, not necessarily causal.
- zeroxfe 11y ago"Inversely correlated" roughly means "correlated in opposite directions", e.g., when one variable goes up, the other goes down, i.e., the correlation factor is negative. It does not imply causation.
