US Egg Consumption per Person vs US Adult Obesity
US Egg Consumption per Person and US Adult Obesity correlate at r = +0.37 over 44 years (1980–2023), p = 0.013. With the time trend removed, r = -0.30. Direction flips without the trend.
Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is 0.37, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes -0.30. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
