I made a BASH script to convert your ODT and RTF files in place for easy use with Obsidian because I couldn't find a plugin like DOCXer and don't have the node skills to create one. Worked for me, YMMV, backup, backup, backup.

TL;DR: No, it's a confounding variable, because more affluent people are more likely to be screened, despite the Post's wanna-be eugenics-justifying title.

"A new, large study out of Finland suggests that people with good jobs have a greater genetic risk for cancer, especially breast and prostate cancers," but Dr. Jiyoung Ahn "believes screening behavior is key to this research," saying, "It is well-established that if you have higher socioeconomic status, you are more likely to get screened."

HIV-related programs in Maryland are facing significant funding cuts after a surplus fund operated by the Maryland Department of Health ran out of money last fiscal year.

Reading and writing articles published in academic journals and presented at conferences is a central part of being a researcher. When researchers write a scholarly article, they must cite the work of peers to provide context, detail sources of inspiration and explain differences in approaches and results. A positive citation by other researchers is a key measure of visibility for a researcher’s own work.

But what happens when this citation system is manipulated? A recent Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology articleby our team of academic sleuths – which includes information scientists, a computer scientist and a mathematician – has revealed an insidious method to artificially inflate citation counts through metadata manipulations: sneaked references.

A study published in JAMA Network Open by Included Health and Harvard Medical School found that patients in high deductible health plans are less likely to seek virtual behavioral healthcare when costs are reintroduced. The study analyzed 15,000 patients and revealed that those required to pay out-of-pocket attended 1.5 fewer telemental health visits per month, with 11.7% stopping visits altogether.

A number of large employers across the United States, including Microsoft, Dell and Ford, are taking steps to make workplaces more accessible and welcoming for neurodivergent employees as the number of autism diagnoses rises. The shift comes as an increasing number of autistic people are also identifying themselves publicly.
