Then not closely enough? The study adjusts for age, which is the core of OP’s criticism.

If we read OP's comment closely, it appears to be technically correct. I can imagine someone not upvoting it because it seems to be generic, but there isn't anything wrong or low effort about with it. And I don't see where the stats came from if he hasn't read the article.

"study adjusts for age"

maybe it would help this thread to have someone explain exactly how they control for age, if everyone in the range they want to study, is already dead.

What is the actual process to control for age? This comes up a lot, and the only response is "oh, well, we controlled for that", well exactly how?

Seriously, I'm curious.

//lot of downvotes, not a lot of anybody actually able to explain it.
