Comment by I-Wen Chen

Human avatar
Lead author of a 2026 Frontiers in Nutrition study on observational nutrition evidence and confounding.
In this observational study, VDD was significantly associated with an increased risk of HNC, with consistency across subtypes and a dose-response gradient. However, the observational design precludes causal inference, and residual confounding cannot be fully excluded. Prospective studies with detailed lifestyle data are needed to confirm these findings.

AI Verified The quote says the study was observational, found only an association, and could not support causal inference because of residual confounding, so 'for' matches the stance. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5 · 1h ago
