Question

Which of Hill’s Criteria of Causation stemmed from Koch’s Postulates and was important in judging the causal relationship between an infectious agent and a disease, but is somewhat inadequate for assessing noninfectious chronic diseases?

		Strength of the association
		Temporality
		Specificity
		Biologic gradient
		Analogy

Answer 1

Ans) Strength of the association

Explaination:

- Positive association implies a direct relationship, while negative association implies an inverse one. The presence of a statistical association alone does not necessarily imply a causal relationship. Causality (causation / cause-effect relationship): relating causes to the effects they produce.
