Attenuation after adjustment for various risk factors may be attributable to a strong correlation of these risk factors [ 22] rather than to confounding.
HbA1c may predict incident cardiovascular events, even in individuals without diabetes mellitus [ 12– 14], although Blake et al. have recently reported that the association of HbA1c with future cardiovascular risk in women without diabetes mellitus is largely attributable to a strong correlation with other cardiovascular risk factors.
More in detail this negative correlation was attributable to a significant negative correlation between "low personal relevance" and the subscales "impulsiveness vs. reflection" (NS2; r[Pearson] = −.538, p = 0.017) and "disorderliness vs. regimentation" (NS4; r[Pearson] = −.528, p = 0.02) (Table S3).
I find that that about 24% of the impact of immigration on the joint likelihood of childbearing and working was attributable to a weakening of the negative fertility-work correlation.
It is hard to rule out, with observational data, that this correlation might be attributable to a confounding factor, such as having more CHWs put in areas with expected higher incidence of disease.
Although significance of correlation was assessed across all eight conditions, in some examples, the correlation was evident from changes attributable to a single factor.
Indeed, we expected that a substantial portion of the genetic variance would be attributable to a common source since we have shown that the genetic correlation between alpha, beta and theta power is high: approximately 0.75.
The correlations between hormone responses and insects or wounding are attributable to a combination of direct and indirect causal pathways, and hormone response coefficients allow us to identify causal influences within these composite correlations.
The correlation of NTM disease with gender did not appear to be attributable to a higher prevalence of concurrent medical conditions or concomitant medication use among women.
The lack of correlation between exposure to nickel and DNA oxidative stress could be attributable to a low biologically relevant dose in the study population.
