Based on what, exactly?
- slx26 9y agoI assume he's talking about a correlation, and probably not strictly limited to a healthier lifestyle, but also to higher income (on average), which provides potentially better access to healthcare, etc.
- projectramo 9y agoI think you can see the difference in these effects by the difference in deaths from smoking vs other cancers. So the reduction in - for instance - prostate cancer may be due to access to healthcare vs reduction in lunch cancer which might be a proxy for “smarter” decisions.
