Disputed The sentence appears verbatim in the cited JAMA article at line 774, and the page lists the publication date as March 19, 2019. However, the paper is credited to Victor W. Zhong et al., with Mercedes R. Carnethon listed only as one coauthor, so the stored author is not a valid single-author attribution for this quote.
