(1) This study is correlational, not causal.
(2) The summary of the study says that muscle power quartile is correlated with six-year mortality for the members of the study. But it doesn't say whether muscle power is any better than other measures like muscle strength. I.e., muscle power isn't necessarily a better predictor; it's just another predictor.
Reading the study rather than the summary might be more helpful.
