Apart from the effect size in that study being pretty low, theres the obvious sampling problem in that sort of people regularly having their brain imaged are not normal!
- glangdale 5y agoI'm not clear on what level of "pretty low" I'd have to see before being reassured here. I guess it's HN, where I'm the only dummy who doesn't know what acceptable changes in everyday metrics like "Parahippocampal gyrus thickness" and "Lateral orbitofrontal cortex volume" are. Your second remark is also peculiar: the "obvious sampling problem" to which you allude is either (1) a subtler-than-expected-point about the UK Biobank's program (designed to be a mass participation program to observe longitudinal effects in previous healthy or as yet undiagnosed people) or (2) evidence you are just making stuff up.
