The 'study' though, was conducted with 1573 Brazilian adults. So it's literally nothing, it's not even a valid study. Let me know when they've tested 150,000+ from several countries around the world.

I mean it's a good representation of Brazilian adults. But it was most likely also done by a bunch of green haired freaks.

I really thought you were going for a "1,573 brazilian" joke as an obvious exaggeration. It took me two or three reads to realize you were actually talking about people from Brazil...

1573 is a perfectly reasonable sample size if the sample is unbiased and random.

The difficulty is getting the "unbiased" and "random" parts correct.

Sure; if the title was "linked to personality disorders in Brazilian Adults" I would have much less issue with it.
