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."

Yeah but journalism, innit. There's a link to the original paper in the article.

You'd think an editor would sort that out though surely.

Or at least expect a journalist to be able to fashion a sentence that actually has some meaning.

It does seem to be a common trait when reporting studies concerning health risks.
