How is sort of blantant false conclusion drawing still tolerated when the audience is supposed to be educated? There are a myriad of reasons why people who have trouble making rent also live in environments and make decisions that shorten their lifespan. It's like saying "being poor means you die sooner", yeah, no kidding.

What's next? People who buy new cars in cash live longer? People who have good retirement savings live longer? What am I missing here, is this just a research someone is doing for science reasons and pop-sci site is drawing false click-bait conclusions? But they are speaking in the first person, and making claims that the rental situation directly affects age and health when they also state that it is purely a correlation.
