Abstract

This article summarizes the results of a Nutrient Biomarker Study in the Women's Health Initiative, and its application to studies of the association between energy and protein consumption and the risk of major cancers and cardiovascular diseases. The presentation emphasizes measurement error modeling and related data analysis methods, since addressing measurement issues appears to be central to these topics and to progress in nutritional epidemiology more generally. The manner in which body mass index is modeled in disease association analysis is particularly challenging, since it could serve as a mediator or as a confounder of the association, and at the same time contributes valuably to energy and protein consumption assessment. A hazard ratio parameter estimation procedure that acknowledges body mass index as a possible mediating variable is described and applied. Some aspects of the future nutritional epidemiology research agenda are briefly discussed, including an ongoing human feeding study to develop biomarkers for additional dietary components.

This paper demonstrates that measurement error can conspire with multicollinearity among explanatory variables to mislead an investigator. A causal variable measured with error may be overlooked and its significance transferred to a surrogate. The latter's significance can then be entirely spurious,

It is becoming standard practice in epidemiology to adjust relative risk estimates to remove the bias caused by non-di!erential errors in the exposure measurement. Estimation of the correction factor is often based on a validation study incorporating repeated measures of exposure, which are assumed

The bias in relative risk estimates caused by errors in measurement of the relevant exposure is being increasingly recognized in epidemiology. Estimation of the necessary correction factor to remove this bias for univariate exposure has been considered in an earlier paper. We consider here the multi

We explore structural equations with latent variables for modelling between-individual variability and measurement error in the analysis of longitudinal binary and ordinal data. The structural equation formulation provides insight into the assumptions and di erences in interpretation of methods that
