Amish Men Live Longer

This study examines differences in the longevity of Amish men compared to the men within the general population of the United States. Data for this analysis comes from the 1965 Ohio Amish directory, specifically the birth and death dates of men from the Holmes County settlement. Amish men’s longevity is compared with the white men of Ohio based on life tables published online by the Social Security Administration. Amish men live an average of five years longer than white men of Ohio, and Amish farmers outlive Amish non-farmers. When the findings are considered with published research on Amish work practices, we concluded that the remarkable longevity of Amish men might be attributed to their exceptional level of physical activity.

Female body attractiveness more about curviness than waist-to-hip ratio, study finds

New research has found that curviness, rather than waist-to-hip ratio, is a stronger predictor of a woman's body attractiveness, especially as body width increases. This suggests curviness better reflects perceived beauty across different body shapes.
