Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
An interesting study based on people who once lived in a retirement community south of LA. Informative and enjoyable.
Living to 90 and beyond - CBS News
Some counter-intuitive findings:
- putting on weight in your later years is good
- they suspect that higher blood pressure in your later years may protect from dementia.
- a lot of people suspected of having alzheimers did not have it (post mortem), but had suffered from micro-stokes. And a number of people who were just fine mentally had plaques in their brains.
And confirmation of things that are already well known.
- social life and exercise is important
- smoking is bad
- alcohol in moderation is good.
Enjoy.
