To evaluate the association between egg intake and cardiovascular disease risk, it is desirable to have repeated measures of diet and lifestyle. Such measures account for random variation in intake, provide a measure of long term or usual diet, and sufficiently account for confounding owing to lifestyle factors because atherosclerosis develops over many decades.

Disputed The sentence appears verbatim in the ResearchGate-hosted full text of the BMJ article (Introduction, lines 379-391), and the article was published on March 4, 2020. However, the source credits multiple individual authors—Jean-Philippe Drouin-Chartier, Siyu Chen, Yanping Li, Amanda L. Schwab, Meir J. Stampfer, Frank M. Sacks, Bernard Rosner, Walter C. Willett, Frank B. Hu, and Shilpa N. Bhupathiraju—rather than Yanping Li alone, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote.
