- Title
The Next Step Forward Is to Take a Step Back.
- Authors
McArdle, Patrick F.
- Abstract
The author discusses the study by L. J. Corbin and colleagues which explores the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) using Mendelian randomization (MR). He mentions that the researchers investigate potential biases from violations of assumptions which he considered to be a significant step in any analysis. Moreover, he suggests the significance of taking a step back to understand the risk factors responsible for T2D.
