Keep thinking about this myself! Seems logically inconsistent that X1 and Y1 would be each other's causes and consequences at the very same time. But I'm curious what the people think 🤓

Conclusions in our study: "X really does not seem to by doing Y"

Paper citing our study: "X is certainly doing Y"

OK, then 🥲

"Casual" instead of "causal" all the time 😬

Many congratulations, Eiko 🎉🤗

I’M IN BERLIN 🇩🇪 for the WFSBP Congress this week, and would love to catch up for coffee, lunch, dinner! Give me a shout if around ✋

Reading a co-reviewer's comments who suggests that the authors should have ideally conducted an RCT to establish causality between mental disorders and premature mortality. Now I've seen it all!

His tempo at the end was furious! Will probably not run that fast in any context, not to mention after 50km in the Alps 😄

"Protective causal factor" feels like the one I was looking for! It is succinct and feels intuitive. Thanks a lot for sharing it 🤓

It's challenging to be technically 100% correct but also succinct 😬 My problem is that saying "negative association" or "inverse association" is neither 100% correct but also not really casually understandable 🥲

It always depends 😄

Your example would work nicely for reporting the actual results. However, imagine that you want to succinctly describe the character of the association. Positive and null results are fairly clear labels for standard purposes. Inverse association seems difficult to grasp, though.

What terminology does #episky prefer for "X decreasing the risk of Y"? Negative association? Inverse association? Dissociation? Others?

I recently used this meme for illustration 🤡

No RStudio either!

If ever wondered, it seems that giraffes are not immune to lightning (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...) 😱

Hope this little fella will come back – would be the coolest neighbour!
