Is "p-value =0.599" a typo for an f-value? Otherwise why's a p-value over 0.5 good?

Nicely done.

Re PUMA, see https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/geo-areas/pumas.html (Public Use Microdata Areas are "non-overlapping, statistical geographic areas that partition each state or equivalent entity into geographic areas containing no fewer than 100,000 people each").

eating beans and rice is probably healthier than eating bread and cheeseburgers

Its because latinos are much shorter than white americans, the longevity of asians is also atributable to shorter body height, shorter people tend to live much much longer since their cells divide less rapidly than tall people.

Can't be everything. Rural South is notoriously short historically; Vermont is quite tall.

"Average height in European countries closely correlates to the rate of death from heart disease. Swedes and Norwegians, who average about 5-foot-10, have more than twice as many cardiac deaths per 100,000 as the Spaniards and Portuguese, who have an average height just north of 5-foot-5. Tall people rarely live exceptionally long lives. Japanese people who reach 100 are 4 inches shorter, on average, than those who are 75. The countries in the taller half of Europe have 48 centenarians per million, compared to 77 per million in the shorter half of the continent." https://slate.com/technology/2013/07/height-and-longevity-the-research-is-clear-being-tall-is-hazardous-to-your-health.html
