Yeah, we often hear we are living longer now yet many I see are not really what I call living. Now out here, away from the City, to see a 90 year old on a tractor is amazing to me...most are pretty healthy out here, all eyes are on me, the fat guy...LOLYeah, always leary of those claims. And to your point, at what price in quality of life?
Funny, but we have similar weights...I am 5' 10"I went from 170 most of my life to 220 in less than 3 years due to A) being sedentary working from home and taking care of mom and B) on hyperthyroid meds which slowed my metabolism big time.
In the process of getting off the thyroid meds and getting serious about exercise
Other studies showed a correlation with cancers going into "turbo" mode.... Hmmmm
indeed.Interesting.
I came in to post the same snippet-- That is actually longer than I expected. "Significance" (in science) means greater than 5% difference that can't be accounted for from natural variance. A lot of cancer drugs / immunotherapies market themselves as giving you the chance to live longer. Often that is only months more than the average lifespan for those with similar disease levels.An Extra Year is nice, I guess, depending on the suffering...just not sure significantly is the right word to use here though...
