There's a lot wrong with using this study for the basis of any medical guidance. In particular it's meta and epidemiological and defines "low carb" as the lowest quartile of carb consumption for the studied population. And the "low carb" group in this study is consuming more than 5 times the average daily carb intake of what actual low carb diets are recommending. I'd debate whether it has any useful value.

Ironically, just one year ago, at the same conference where the above study was released, this study was presented with exactly the opposite results -- that low carbs, high fat was the way to go: https://www.tctmd.com/news/pure-investigators-rethink-diet-guidance-plug-more-fats-fewer-carbs

Lies, damn lies, and statistics. Unfortunately, the medical field is awash in questionable recommendations when you start to dig in to the actual studies.
