I do wonder if there was a confounding factor that they didn't successfully isolate. "General health" seems like an obvious one, but some other factor might be more subtle.

From the abstract: analysis [was] adjusted for age, alcohol consumption, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, smoking status, Type 2 diabetes, previous myocardial infarction, resting heart rate and serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [1]. Of course, that doesn't rule out all confounding factors.
