Hmmm... CRP correlates to all kinds of things like lower levels of Vit D, less exercise, illness, etc... If people are going out less, say because it's winter

Hmmm... CRP correlates to all kinds of things like lower levels of Vit D, less exercise, illness, etc...
If people are going out less, say because it's winter and they've been feeling unwell then we should expect CRP levels to be higher. We should probably also expect social media use while people are at home is probably going to be higher than when they're outside in the sun.
The idea that an inflammatory marker would actually drive people to seek out social media seems highly suspect to me. Do people with cancer develop an insatiable urge to use social media?
- captainbland 3y agoIf it is true I think it would arise from a bit more of a transitive relationship but with more straightforward leaps in logic. Sick people are tired, tired people want to partake in sedentary activities more than they want to take part in highly physical activities relative to the rest of the population, social media is a highly popular sedentary activity among the studied cohort of students.
