Which of the following is not a criteria suggesting casuality in non communicable diseases?
Correct Answer: Lack of temporal association
Description: The presence of temporal association is included among the criteria designed by Sir Austin Bradford Hill in order to suggest causality in non-communicable diseases. Thus this criteria can distinguish between casual and non casual associations. Temporal association is based on the fact that the suspected cause should precede the observed effect.
