I don’t think mortality is the right measure, here.

I agree. Mortality is a one-trick-pony, and there are other metrics that can measure quality of life that are better

Yes but are there other metrics that can better measure quality of life that are uncorrelated with mortality?

If one can afford to buy extra supplements to eat everyday, probably can also afford to buy a car to drive around and die more often in car accident than who don't drive.

[guerrilla]

Exactly. Like how does it effect sleep, feeling of well-being, strength, etc. There are many better metrics. We wouldn't be here if not taking multivitamins killed.

[resoluteteeth]

If multivitamins are really improving things like sleep and strength why is that not showing up in mortality? Isn't there evidence that sleep quality and strength in later life are negatively correlated with mortality?

Feelings of well-being have also been shown to be negatively correlated with morality.
