When scientists say there's a relationship between A and B they mean that they have reason to believe that A and B are parts of a system whose parts are causally related. This does not mean that A causes B or vice versa. It means that there might be many other parts of the system containing both A and B that somehow link A and B so that when A changes B does too, or vice versa. For instance, I believe that height is related to intelligence. I don't believe that height makes a person more intelligent or that intelligence makes a person taller. However, it's possible that better childhood diet would result in both greater intelligence and greater height. I would say that there's a relationship between adult height and adult intelligence.
