      If you read the study they actually separate out the mortality rates of 60+ and those who are not. There’s still a significantly increased risk of death to cancer and slightly elevated risk due to respiratory issues in the younger cohort. You can see this reflected in figure 4

          I don’t have much else to say other than please read the study. In particular the results section talks about how they controlled for many of the concerns you are mentioning.
