Data missing - interaction between new diseases and old diseases #295

Open jzhu20 opened 5 months ago

jzhu20 commented 5 months ago

There are data missing on the interactions between four new diseases (ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage) and other diseases in the list.

Not of high priority from my view.

Is the relative risk from disease expected to be considerably weaker that relative risk from risk factor?

We should probably be certain of this here before making any judgements on #277. If it turns out that the expected reduction in disease prevalence that you are not seeing is indirectly caused by the reduction of other diseases which depend on your risk factors, then we will be wasting our time by debugging relative risk from risk factors.

Hence I'm marking this as needing more info.

The diseases of priority are most relevant to the risk factor of sodium. With an observed significant reduction in sodium intake, we expect a pronounced reduction in the prevalence of these diseases regardless of their interaction with other diseases.
