The goal of optimum health includes taking personal responsibility for maintaining it, of course.
Sometimes they have to prove the obvious first. (People who are cancer-free have a higher likelihood for healthy living.....)
The next step ought to be to determine which patients in the study completed major treatment with chemotherapy and which ones did not, to see whether the treatment itself would tend to result in poorer health practices. (Go ahead, make your best guess.)
The next step would be to look at those with the least risk, to see if forgoing major treatment results in better health habits that then result in better outcomes, the same outcomes, or worse outcomes.
