The paradox of the BMI paradox
"In this lecture, I will use the widely discussed obesity paradox as an example of how data from observational and experimental studies might not line up. I will focus on the methodological aspects of these so-called paradoxes. Often, residual confounding is blamed in observational studies, but from the obesity paradox, we learn that many other issues could be responsible. I will explore to what extent selection bias might be the true culprit behind these so-called paradoxes, but I will also dive into concepts of causal inference (e.g. exchangeability, positivity, and consistency). I will conclude the session by providing some practical tips for methodology-focused researchers on how to handle a paradox when you see one."-- Bob Siegerink, Epidemiology research group leader at the Center for Stroke Research (Charité), @BobSiegerink
