INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 4 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Owning a pet increases a person's risk of death?

Unclear. Several meta-analyses and cohort studies report that pet ownership is associated with lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality risk, not higher, though the evidence is partial and one study's result direction is not shown. No retrieved item supports the claim that owning a pet increases a person's risk of death.
