Is this article factual? Is it an educated opinion (fact-based)? Is it just a opinion?

According to the article that mentions the sources of the information, such as “study
author Dr. Zhe Pan.” or the numbers of data like “data on 313,651 people” this

makes the article factual and it could be found in others articles too. In my opinion

this article is useful and it is a fact.
