Their correlation is an obvious and well established one. But they are wording it such that the fact that you have insecure rent payment is directly causing biological degradation. Which is absolutley bonkers. Perhaps the stress, or some other factor, sure. I mean, the main thing missing here is evidence of causation. How is the rent situation causing this exactly, forget evidence even a hypothesis of something, I don't know maybe a rent gene lol.
This smeels like a combination of lazy science and politically driven scince. They want to affect some sort of policy so they made the "science" say what they want it to say. Fraud by any other word.
If they actually investigate the cause of action behind their observation perhaps better health care might be the answer or even in a policy sense, better pay or having food and resources in poor areas that promote good health might be a solution. They specificically focused on rent!
And people wonder why there is such little trust in science these days.
I never questioned their credential, I questioned the publication's and their intent. Scientists are people too, they are capable of bias and bad-faith like anyone else.
