When I was only slightly younger I believed that one could put a bunch of covariates in a regression model for any health outcome, do some variabel selection, and then call the remaining covariates 'risk factors' for that particular outcome, truly believing that meant something

Before you make a knee-jerk response 'correlation doesn't imply causation: avoid causal conclusions from observational studies', remember this is what tobacco companies said for years. Be thoughtful about causal inference, don't abandon it Miguel Hernán
