Discretizing continuous variables in nutrition and obesity research: a practice that needs to be cut short

O. F. Morera, M. I. Dane'el, et al.

Explore the potentially risky practice of dichotomizing continuous variables in nutrition research, as revealed by Osvaldo F. Morera and colleagues. This study highlights significant distortions in effect sizes and insights lost in analyses when independent variables are simplistically categorized. Discover why multiple regression may offer more robust solutions for understanding complex nutrition-related dynamics.
