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.

Precisely. What works great for one person will be a horrible torture for another person.
The simple thing taught to all of us all our life, eat a BALANCED diet, exercise more and eat enough to maintain weight, and
nothing to excess. My aunt got into some real mumbo jumbo poppycock diet and her nutritionist had her pulping carrots and rubbing that on her stomach to cure a stomach ache. We finally got her to a real doctor and she had some real issues that medical science cured.
