I really wish they'd not use quotes such as this:
"Over the course of the study, the 263,450 subjects who were under review had a 41 per cent lower chance of death than those who didn’t."

The author responded to this exact criticism in the comments, saying that the reduction in chance if death was over the 5 year study, not in perpetuity.
A redraft might be a good idea, but I think the sentence holds up.
