Provide brief responses to the questions below about the discussion reading (Sayon-Orea et al). You have to work in groups but your responses should be your own individual work:
What is the significance or public health impact of the research question addressed in the paper?
What are the main advantages of the study design used in the PREDIMED-Plus trial?
The results presented in Table 4 include changes in the values of cardiovascular risk factors by intervention group and also the proportion of patients achieving clinically meaningful changes. Why do you think the authors presented both types of results?
Do you think that confounding could bias the results presented in this paper? Why or why not?
The authors talk about “social desirability bias” in their limitations. What is this bias? How could it affect the results?
Are the findings from this analysis and the PREDIMED-Plus trial in general of value to the US population or populations in non-Mediterranean countries? Why or why not?
