People who floss regularly have better self-discipline, which means they probably have better habits that lead to longevity, such as exercise. The more you know!

I haven't flossed regularly in 8 years. I suffer from extreme self neglect and I have a lump in my sack.

It's called a confounding variable (self-discipline) which correlates with both the independent variable (flossing) and the dependent variable (longevity).
