pakimd  how is a disease more common in one age group a confounder? +3
lucifer546  I think this question stem does not talk about the prevalence being greater in boys as a potential confounder. What it simply asks is the method used in this study design. It's important that whenever on the basis of a different characteristic, a heterogenous group is divided into subgroups that are more homogenous, we call it stratification. Removing a confounder is not a strict requirement +2
