So if you live in a good part of town you live longer. Not really surprising?

  All sorts of good outcomes are highly correlated with being well off financially.

    And you don't think they bothered to adjust for that even though they said they did?

      Statistics isn't my strong suit but as I understand adjustment for covariates then it's a linear remapping of the sample data. If that's right then strongly nonlinear confounding factors (as, for instance, I'd expect wealth to be) would still affect the outcomes even after being "adjusted for". Happy to be set straight on this if I've misunderstood!

  More like if you have enough money you live longer and live in a good part of town.
