    In this example, the bias would tend to attenuate any true effect of number of sexual partners on cervical cancer. Similar selection processes have been implicated in many conundrums previously described as “paradoxes,” including the birthweight paradox [11] and the obesity paradox [12]. Although greatly outweighed by their strengths, DAGs do have limitations.

    Citation Excerpt :

    There are several possible reasons why cardiac outcomes in underweight patients are worse in an established coronary artery disease cohort. First, it has been suggested that 2 types of selection bias known as reverse-causation and collider bias artificially create the obesity paradox.7,25–27 In analyses using baseline weight as exposure, reverse-causation means being underweight does not cause critical conditions, but critical patients are instead underweight.

  • Association of obesity with recurrent stroke and cardiovascular events

    2021, Revue Neurologique
    Citation Excerpt :

    A previous secondary stroke prevention trial did not show an independent associaton between obesity and risk of stroke recurrence over a 2.5-year follow-up period, [14,18] but another study on black subject population found an association between these 2 variables [17]. The discrepancy of results between studies may result from the selection of population of patients [4,23] or from the age factor modifying young onset stroke and mortality among young stroke survivors [8]. It is intelligible that obesity itself performs its deleterious effect by various mechanisms on the risk of primary and secondary stroke.
