- ineedasername 4y agoYes, it is. In the results section where they provide a differential analysis of TMREL & NDE stratified by age levels and point out an inflection point for the >= 40 ranges. The exact words are not mentioned, but that is the substantive result and analysis provided, albeit with more nuances and important points than merely this age distinction. This HN posting probably used the title it did because regular media outlets are headlining it that way. I would agree that's not the most appropriate way to title an HN submission to direct research without such a title. Generally the title on a post here should match the article, at least as much as is practical. At a minimum it could have kept in the spirit of the article to simply title the HN submission something like "Safety & benefits of alcohol consumption vary by age groups".
- mylons 4y agoso, let me repeat, this is never said in the paper.
- ineedasername 4y agoIf you are going to be so obtusely literal minded as to demand a verbatim reproduction of the headline? Fine, sure, correct. If, on the other hand, you mean whether or not the information necessary to evaluate the headline's statement is contained in the linked article, then yes it is, distinctly and clearly, in the results section.
