True or False? If the adjusted measure of association is different from the crude measure for more than 10%, confounder is present and the adjusted measure of association should be reported.
The answer is:
We compute the measure of association both before and after adjusting for a potential confounding factor.
If the difference between the two measures of association(adjusted measure and crude measure) is 10% or more, then confounding was present and we should report the measure of association. Otherwise, if it is less than 10%, then there was little, if any, confounding.

Q1. For the following three questions, consider the following risk ratios from a cohort study on the association between diabetes and glaucoma: Crude: 1.88 Race/ethnicity-adjusted: 1.56 Race/ethnicity-stratified (White participants): 1.49 Race/ethnicity-stratified (Black participants): 1.99 Race/ethnicity-stratified (Asian participants): 1.35 Race/ethnicity-stratified (Hispanic participants): 1.78 a)Race is producing: No confounding Positive confounding Negative confounding b) Race is: A confounder An effect modifier Both a confounder and an effect modifier Neither a confounder nor an effect modifier c) Which is the best single measure...

1.a false positive association that results from the use of a mixed population in an association study is caused by which of the following: A)linkage desequillibrium B) population stratification c) genetic diversity D) genetic drift E) gene flow 2. analysis of pairwise measurements of D' for neighboring variants via genome reveals a complex genetic architecture for LD, thus D' close to 1 is strong LD and close is weak LD A) true B)false
