I just don’t understand why many medical types are so adamant there is no link.
A possible 'confounder' might be the higher level of awareness of DC in the climbing community. I recognised mine in the very early stages whereas I've met a few non-climbers since who have far more advanced DC without a clue what it is.

Here's an out of the box confounder. Maybe people of viking origin are pre-disposed to go rock climbing
