I've been struggling for one year, asking my professor, but that is the most clear explanation that I've met (the schema helps a lot !)
I am glad that is helpful! Are there any statistical concepts you are not clear about? I am happy to make a video to clarify them further.

Hi, can the age group be the covariate? Because it’s effect the outcome of the results
Are confounder and moderator the same to an extent?
Can diabetes be an exposure in this case?
Yes, diabetes could be an exposure for stroke. In that case, the research question would be "Is diabetes associated with the risk of stroke?"
Is it because kidney failure increases the probability for the treatment using Procrit? Is that why it is a confounder?
That is absolutely correct!
Normal kidney produces erythropoietin. --> People with kidney failure produces less erythropoietin, resulting in anemia. That is why, patients with kidney failure usually need erythropoietin shots (procrit) to treat their anemia.
