The study that you link to that suggests this makes absolutely zero attempts to control for wealth. I don’t think I need to take a health study in the USA seriously if it doesn’t consider the potential for wealth (access to healthcare, leisure time, poverty stress, etc) to be the cause of what it’s seeing.
