I'm pretty surprised they found *correlations between mortality and supplementation. I wonder how they can separate that from socioeconomic status.

Also, I understand why they tested multi-vitamins and fish oil, but I wonder why they asked about glucosamine?

I don’t see that in the linked article or in the paper. The words vitamin and fish don’t appear anywhere in the paper either. I didn’t see supplement use in the tables.

Where are you seeing this?
