Your subpopulation will, necessarily, be different than the the other study's subpopulation and it may be reasonable that this difference affects rates of change: for example, if you are looking at a novel diet, you want not want to identify unusual change from estimates coming from a different study. Not saying that there are no measurements for which this approach could work, but it should be used with some caution. | |
