The phrase "a causal linkage between" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the relationship or connection between two events or variables, particularly in scientific or analytical contexts.
Example: "The study aimed to establish a causal linkage between diet and health outcomes in the population."
Alternatives: "a causal relationship between" or "a cause-and-effect connection between".
The convincing impact of the intervention on these offers useful supportive evidence for a causal linkage between the intervention and vaccine uptake.
Wu et al. (2009) [ 24] have identified that CDC6 is the putative PTEN target and demonstrated a causal linkage between CDC6 and PTEN in metastatic human prostate cancer.
Quite the opposite: We have acknowledged that environmental data alone cannot lead to such a conclusion and that direct biomedical testing is needed to establish a causal linkage between tungsten and leukemia.
Contrary to the work of Heimonen et al. [ 7], a causal linkage between a woman's oral health status and her experience with pre-term or full-term births cannot be assumed.
Although mechanistic studies that unambiguously demonstrate a causal linkage between metformin's antifolate activity and direct AMPK activation by ATM are lacking, it is tempting to suggest that the metformin-altered de novo maintenance of intracellular nucleotide pools may lead to the phosphorylation of AMPK in an ATM-dependent and LKB1-independent manner [ 96- 99].
Identification of such underlying mediating mechanisms is an important component of establishing any causal linkage between early-onset drinking and these later outcomes that would inform estimation of their alcohol-attributable fractions (Rehm et al. 2010).
Meanwhile, the evidence that MTR mining may directly and adversely affect public health has become significantly stronger since it was written in the Spruce Mine decision that the research studies to that point "by their nature could not and do not establish any causal linkage between surface coal mining and these elevated rates of adverse health effects".
This is an important step in ascertaining a potential causal linkage between maternal alcohol use and toddler behavior problem.
Further work is needed to elucidate the role of mirror neurons in human behavior, but this raises an intriguing possibility that mirror neurons might provide a structural causal linkage between self-perceived isolation i.e., loneliness and motor actions[ 41].
Limitations in these data nevertheless preclude a definitive causal linkage between assayed amitriptyline elevation and induced hypertriglyceridaemia.
Nevertheless, from the example of gnathostomes, we should be skeptical of a direct causal linkage between genome duplication and organismal evolution or any other causal mechanism of instantaneous evolution in explaining the emergence of vertebrates.
