This assumes that population level scores would not depend on those factors while they most likely would, for example if an individual did not receive proper nutrition as a child (ie in poor regions of Africa) it would be reasonable to assume that he may have lower intellect as a consequence, etc, and this is only from nurture rather than nature factors.
Unless ofc you try to artificially weight those scores to even them out, but this would make them useless.
