Easier to blame people if you say they behave badly...just change your
behaviour. Way back it was called "Blaming the Victim". Guess not much has
changed.

Their estimate says:
"On a population basis, using the best available estimates, the impacts
of various domains on early deaths in the United States distribute
roughly as follows: genetic predispositions, about 30 percent; social
circumstances, 15
percent; environmental exposures, 5 percent; behavioral patterns,
40 percent; and shortfalls in medical care, 10 percent.

I think this assessment is limited in that it separates the domains, as
if they act independently.  It estimates that social circumstances
account for 15% of early death, yet it ignores the fact that social
circumstances profoundly influence environmental exposures, behavioral
patterns, and shortfalls in medical care.
