I don't think it insinuates a causal relationship. I interpret "30% more likely" as the same as "associated with a 30% increase," which is what the article claims.

I would say that "People who do X are 30% more likely to get X" is commonly understood to imply causation.

    "is associated with" is a much more neutral phrasing. The phrasing did not denote causality but does imply it to a casual reader.
