What explains Utah having the nation’s highest rate of implant surgery?

valleus

7/10/20 11:09am

Source?

Thrill

7/10/20 11:12am

Sacrament meeting on sundays before coronavirus.

7/10/20 11:13am

I'm serious about a source. I hear this, but have never seen a credible list.

Thrill

Here:

valleus

That's the # of plastic surgeons in a city, not procedures.

Thrill

7/10/20 12:05pm

Per capita. From that we can infer. What sort of evidence were you expecting?

valleus

7/10/20 1:02pm

Interestingly, I believe Utah has a disproportionately low number of GPs

Gustav

Now that’s can do thinking! 🙂

valleus

7/10/20 1:24pm

Gee, I don't know. Maybe the actual # of procedures divided by population.

BleedCougarBlue2

Infer does not mean guess. It’s foundational to scientific reasoning.

valleus

7/10/20 2:09pm

"Infer" is simply an educated "guess". Educated, true, but still a guess.

BleedCougarBlue2

7/10/20 2:25pm

Everything is a probabilistic guess.

valleus

7/10/20 2:35pm

Not truly per capita. They only included adults.

I'd guess demographics. More upper-middle-class housewives=more plastic surgery.
