The author concludes that good health is largely the result of making informed lifestyle choices. This is based on the fact that studies from many countries show a strong correlation between good health and high educational levels.

The author assumes that the correlation between good health and high educational levels is due to high education levels tending to cause good health. This overlooks the possibility that there’s an alternate cause that leads to both good health and high educational levels. This also overlooks the possibility that having good health improves one’s ability to seek higher education. The author also assumes that there’s an association between high education levels and making more informed lifestyle choices.

Although the author does assume that higher educational levels are indicative of a higher likelihood of making informed lifestyle choices, that doesn’t mean he thinks “only” those with higher education make informed lifestyle choices.

The author never suggests that people who make informed lifestyle choices will never have health problems. So, the possibility that they might have inherited diseases doesn’t undermine the reasoning.

The author does not assume everyone can make informed lifestyle choices. The argument simply concerns the cause of good health. Even if some people aren’t able to engage in the behaviors that the author thinks leads to good health, that doesn’t undermine the author’s reasoning.

The author overlooks the possibility that the correlation between good health and education is due to a thing that causes both good health and education (such wealth or genetics). This shows there doesn’t have to be a causal relationship between education and good health.

The author assumes there is a causal relationship between informed choices and being in good health, but that doesn’t commit the author to believing this is the only cause of good health. The fact some people who make bad choices are healthy does not hurt the argument.
