No doubt these are both useful measurements at the population level, but I can't see how either is useful at the individual/clinical level. What's the point of telling somebody about a risk factor when there isn't a safe, reliable, proportional treatment to change that factor?

ALL association studies are clinically useless. A Dr has ONE patient in front of them. Statisticians are not Dr's. Leave "herd-targeted" treatments to cattle. Give patients the individual Dr-assessed medical treatment they deserve.
