Exercise and Longevity

[Guest guest]

An epidemiologist who apparently showed a link between exercise and

longevity with a landmark study, died today. I do note that he " only "

lived to be 84 - not bad when considering that the average male lives to

about 78 - but not so good if considering he used his findings to improve

his own longevity. Also he died of congestive heart

failure.................

Hi folks:

It sounds like he rectangularized his curve somewhat, but didn't

shift it to the right.

One to two years is not a lot. Thirty percent IS a lot, imo.

Hi folks:

Wikipedia on congestive heart failure. It seems to have lots of

possible causes:
