Obesity and US mortality risk over the adult life course.
In this study, we analyzed age variation in the association between obesity status and US adult mortality risk. Previous studies have found that the association between obesity and mortality risk weakens with age. We argue that existing results were derived from biased estimates of the obesity-mortality relationship because models failed to account for confounding influences from respondents' a...
متن کاملDoes visual modularity increase over the course of development?
Early in postnatal development, the brain produces exuberant connections, some of which are later retracted, a process that is thought to play a role in the formation of functionally segregated modules in the brain. In the case of visual development, retraction between visual areas might underlie the known psychophysical and neural segregation of processing for different aspects of vision (e.g....

Masters et al. (1) suggested that the weakening obesitymortality association with age reported in previous studies was due to uncontrolled confounding effects. They concluded that the obesity-mortality association strengthened with increasing age when those confounding factors were controlled for in their analysis. Mehta and Stokes (2) proposed that the findings might be due to interactions bet...
