As hypothesised, devaluation also reduced attentional bias for alcohol images but, importantly, mediation analysis indicated that attentional bias plays only a partial mediating role in determining choice in social drinkers, and identifies this causal contribution as ∼30%.
A mediation analysis indicated that the effect of the leaflet on intention was mediated largely through its effects on anticipated peace of mind, perceived vulnerability to CRC, perceived disgust, and perceived efficacy of the test.
In addition, our mediation analysis indicated a modest (3.2%) indirect effect through BMI (p for Sobel test=0.098).
Indeed, our mediation analysis indicated that biliary stones explained 60% of the effect of diabetes on gallbladder cancer, whereas HDL accounted for 18%, and only 6% was attributed to HDL via biliary stones pathway.
Nevertheless, our mediation analysis indicated that the indirect effect through BMI was modest and the association between soft drinks and OA progression remained after adjustment for BMI, weight change and total energy intake suggestive of independent effects of soft drinks.
Mediation analysis indicated that approximately 19% (13.8 24.5%) of the association between low-stress resilience and CHD was mediated by physical fitness, and for the association between medium resilience and CHD the proportion mediated by physical fitness was about 28% (18.8 41.5%).
