Association Between Dietary Patterns and Plasma Lipid Biomarker and Female Breast Cancer Risk: Comparison of Latent Class Analysis (LCA) and Factor Analysis (FA)

Association Between Dietary Patterns and Plasma Lipid Biomarker and Female Breast Cancer Risk: Comparison of Latent Class Analysis (LCA) and Factor Analysis (FA)

Background: Diet research focuses on the characteristics of “dietary patterns” regardless of the statistical methods used to derive them. However, the solutions to these methods are both conceptually and statistically different.Methods: We compared factor analysis (FA) and latent class analysis (LCA...
