In my humble opinion, this fails the deductive reasoning test, and therefore the analysis is missing key explanatory factors (some of which the authors seem to allude to). Of course checkups carry the risk of false positives. And I have trouble believing that: early detection/intervention isn’t going to lead to better health outcomes, regular screenings won’t lead to early detection, and that adherence to a treatment regime (e.g. high cholesterol = improve diet, increase exercise, maybe take medication) won’t improve outcomes.
