Tehran's explanation from 2018 is also really good I didn't consider that.Emil-Kunkin on December 3, 2022
Hi, I'm not actually sure that it does strengthen the correlation. It's showing that on aggregate, family size decreasing is correlated with increasing allergies, but we do not know if this hold true at the family level. Maybe the increase in allergies was concentrated in adults, and allergies actually become less common for kids. Maybe allergies become more common for people in the larger families. The aggregate does not tell us enough about the more micro level trends.AndrewArabie on December 4, 2022
Yea that Mehran's point. Thank you Emil. I'll try to put myself in that mindset when I see the term "average."
