Secondary association in populations due to heterogeneity.

R Maclennan, S P Mandel.   

Abstract

This paper discusses the phenomenon of spurious or secondary association between factors in heterogeneous study populations. The mathematical basis of this phenomenon is set out and some numerical examples are given. The relevance of the findings to the interpretation of epidemiological studies is examined.
