The title seems to muddle the conclusion.
higher BMI accounted for a substantial proportion of these increased risks suggesting that residual confounding or mediation by adiposity might account for some of these remaining associations.
I'm confused. What is a "substantial portion" of the increased risk?
- tralarpa 6y agoYou can see that in table 6ff in the "additional file 1" (it's a docx file). For example, before adjustement for the BMI, the increase of ischemic heart disease per 70g/daily red and processed meat consumption is 1.26 (model 2). With BMI adjustment (model 3) it's 1.15.
