US Egg Consumption per Person vs US Adolescent Birth Rate
US Egg Consumption per Person and US Adolescent Birth Rate correlate at r = +0.40 over 63 years (1961–2023), p = 0.0010. With the time trend removed, r = -0.55. Direction flips without the trend.
Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is 0.40, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes -0.55. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
