An article that appeared in USA Today (August 11, 1998) described a study on prayer and blood pressure.

In this study, 2391 people 65 years or older, were followed for 6 years. The article stated that people who attended a religious service once a week and prayed or studied the Bible at least once a day were less likely to have high blood pressure. The researcher then concluded that “attending religious services lowers blood pressure”.

The headline for this article was “Prayer Can Lower Blood Pressure.” Write a few sentences commenting on the appropriateness of the researcher’s conclusion and on the article headline.
