None of these seems to be making a causal claim, did I miss something? The linked article is saying causation runs in the opposite direction.

- softwaredoug 1y agoThe only studies we have are long term longitudinal. IE this one: > After adjustment for confounding, there were statistically significant positive associations for people reporting four or more ACEs relative to those reporting no ACEs, and this was true for all chronic diseases except hypertension. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8462987 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8462987 A twin study would be about as close as we could get to a randomized control trial: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2815834 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/... I'm willing to use the term "cause" here, given the copious amount of studies controlling for other confounders. That's the best we can do given there's no ethical way to run a randomized control trial.
