[QUOTE="Will Brink, post: 164552, member: 2074"] Correlations are almost always what leads to understanding/discovery of mechanistisc pathaways and causation factors. All of the risk factors you're aware of were discovered via epi/correlational data. It's very difficult to do meaningful tghtly controlled RCTs in free living humans and CVD for obvious reasons. Hence, we are left with what he have to work with, understanding the value of epi data, while always understanding cause/effect is tenous at best with such data. The reason we know particle sizes vs simple LDL appears to be a much more important risk factor for CVD is due to correlational data.... Everyone knows smoking causes cancer, yet not a single human RCT ever done for obvious reasons. So, when one has a large body of epi research, prospective and retrospective, with large data sets, accounting for confounders, etc, is often the best we are going to have coming to some cause/effect conclusions RE, major human diseases and killers.
