PUBH 8035 Module 7 Discussion; Assessing Causality And Implications For Public Health Policy

PUBH 8035 MODULE 7 DISCUSSION; ACCESSING CASUALTY AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALT
POLICY



Epidemiology md 7 discussion

For this week, the article I chose was about Dietary Glycemic Index (GI)

and Glycemic Load (GL) and the risk of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The article

concluded that the high confidence in causal associations for incident T2D is

sufficient to consider inclusion of GI and GL in food and nutrient-based

recommendations (Geoffrey et al., 2019).



What is the epidemiological causal inference model used by the authors?

Provide a detailed summary of how the authors used the model to assess the

association.



The epidemiological causal inference model used in this article was the

Bradford-Hill guidelines for causality. The authors used the model to assess the

association in the following criteria:



1. Strength of association: T2D-Gi and the T2D-GL risk relations were proved

to be sufficiently strong with an RR > 1.20, lower 95% CI. > 1.10 to warrant

action in favor of public health.
