“On a population aggregate level”

This isn’t a study that tracked individuals, they looked at population level aggregate statistics.

They attempted to predict average life expectancy using linear regression with just a seven, yes only seven, population level statistics. Wow I’m so surprised they found average meat consumption was predictive… not. I just wasted my time skimming that.
