good point! yes, agree with what you're saying, i think that was what i was alluding to. i didn't find the selection process in the article, but given that such a study takes a long time to carry through, isn't it absurdly risky to sample such a small group knowing that if it turns out decades later that the sample isn't really representative and you can't really infer anything about the general public?
