If eligibility for school was the reason for having more or less dementia, then you'd expect to see the same effect in other years, right? Instead of splitting the groups by being born before or after September 2, 1933, what if you split groups by being born before or after September 2, 1932...

That's the thing. Selection bias doesn't really matter here. Simple way to imagine it: there's a room of people. They all randomly decided to wear a red or blue shirt that morning (akin to being born before or after the cutoff date in the actual study). Someone walks in and says "people...

Are you referring to the new study linked in another thread? It's basically the same methodology as this thread's study, but instead of looking at dementia diagnoses, they looked at two other metrics: diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment and death from dementia. So something like a...

It says: A person named Harry Lei on the first site. The second link doesn't work, but I found this page for a Harry Lei in that organization, and the photo looks like the person on the Github page. I think it's a real person. Maybe they use AI to write lots of replies.

Unfortunately, that's the kind of evidence that's needed for a medical treatment. You keep saying this, but it's not evidence. It's just a person making an incredible claim. Anyone can come on the forum and say that they know of large numbers of people cured by a treatment. Even if you're...

It just doesn't seem plausible to me that a treatment that works so well would not have strong published evidence by now. Have not similar things been touted as a treatment for decades? Where are the trials showing these remarkable results? Or is it that they only just recently come up with the...

I think it's meant to double check that it's really vitamin D. They saw the association when combined, but weren't really sure if it might be only due to nutritional vitamin D or only due to supplemental D. If the association holds no matter what the source, that adds some confidence that it's...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Do you mean ~50% of the 17 participants in the study were misdiagnosed by the investigators? I don't recall anything in the paper suggesting that.
