The idea
Habits set in early adulthood shape later cardiovascular health, and diet and activity protect even people with genetic risk.
In practice
More education going with healthier habits, a correlation that income and access to care may explain.
Where people slip
This is correlational: education, income and access travel together, so education alone is not shown to cause better habits.
