The study took a normal unhealthy population (Korea) and divided it into thirds. None of these were following a WFPB diet, so it means nothing to your diet.
Nearly all of the population probably were developing coronary artery diease, diabetes, cancer and whatever their particular environmental or genetic weakness left them vulnerable to. Maybe the lowest third, not dying of heart attacks, had a chance to die of something else. Also, population was probably also being treated with various medications. How does that affect the results?
I’m sure there a sub-cultures in Korea, for example some Buddhist monks still following a traditional diet, that would be truely healthy, have good markets, show longer healthy lifespan, etc. But not what this study was about. I don’t know why they even bother with studies like this. There is so much noise in large averages that it is almost impossible to tease out any information of any value.
Need to look at the overall picture across all of the studies, particularly the powerful studies that show meaningul results.
