Why Research Results are 'Adjusted' for Confounding Factors - and How To Communicate About It

What do researchers mean when they say they have 'adjusted for' factors like age, sex and diet? And how can you communicate what this means to a broad audience?
Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter gives a simple explanation of how statistical adjusting works, and why it's such a crucial part of interpreting observational data in the social and medical sciences.
David Spiegelhalter is a statistician, author and broadcaster. His book THE ART OF STATISTICS is a worldwide bestseller. He was the Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge for many years, and served a term as the President of the Royal Statistical Society.
