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.
