Public health researcher and coauthor of a 2026 review on confounding in nutrition research
In nutrition research, confounding is an important challenge. Owing to the complexities involved in dietary interventions, such research is often subject to three types of confounders: measured confounders, unmeasured confounders, and time-varying confounders. Inadequate control of these confounders can lead to distorted research conclusions and even undermine the credibility of dietary guidelines.

Disputed The source URL is fetchable and the quoted text appears verbatim in the article’s abstract and PDF. But the work is a six-author paper listing Mujie Shen, Jiawei Zhou, Dongfang You, Fang Shao, Guoshuang Feng, and Yang Zhao; Dongfang You is one coauthor, not the sole speaker/author of this passage. Because this platform cannot verify a multi-author academic-paper quote as a single-author quote, the attribution to Dongfang You alone is disputed.
