Empirically derived dietary patterns: interpretability and construct validity a...
Castro,Michelle Alessandra de; Baltar,Valéria Troncoso; Selem,Soraya Sant'Ana de Castro; Marchioni,Dirce Maria Lobo; Fisberg,Regina MaraThis study aimed to investigate the effects of factor rotation methods on interpretability and construct validity of dietary patterns derived in a representative sample of 1,102 Brazilian adults. Dietary patterns were derived from exploratory factor analysis. Orthogonal (varimax) and oblique rotations (promax, direct oblimin) were applied. Confirmatory factor analysis assessed construct validity of the dietary ...
Mahalanobis' distance and propensity score to construct a controlled matched gr...
Baltar,Valéria Troncoso; Sousa,Clóvis Arlindo de; Westphal,Marcia FariaIn observational epidemiology it is usual to select a control group to study the effects of certain exposures on human health. Intervention studies are well known among epidemiologists but it is not very frequent in other areas of research.
