Causal inference methods were developed to emulate repeated randomized trials in observational studies, notably by controlling for time-varying confounders. Using these methods, we examined the complex relationship between physical activity, sedentary behaviors and T2DM accounting for interrelations between time-varying lifestyle habits and their reciprocal effects on T2DM across childhood.
