Daniel ReedersIg Nobel prize awarded to a researcher whose work shows data on longevity is 'rotten from the inside out.'
The so-called Mediterranean diet may be pension fraud.
Oz is tired@engagedpractx This is hilarious. I have seen so much health advice based on longevity data over the years. 😄
Markus Redeker 🐘@oz @engagedpractx From the article: “Longevity is very likely tied to wealth. Rich people do lots of exercise, have low stress and eat well.” — So the best health advice is: Be rich. 🙂
Ms. Denie@mrdk @oz @engagedpractx and of course: rich people can afford healthcare (and insurance), they can afford to pay for care.
Which in turn lowers stress, I'm sure.
@A_denie @mrdk @engagedpractx In an international perspective poor people usually do have access to health care and elderly care, but I'm sure the US situation does have some effect on the numbers.
@oz @mrdk @engagedpractx True, but I live in a country which nominally has health care coverage for all (the Netherlands), and highly educated rich people live at least 13 years longer here, and if you take healthy years into the equation the difference becomes larger.
In Sweden it seems to hit mostly dental care (page 15: https://health.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2021-12/2021_chp_sv_english.pdf)
@oz @mrdk @engagedpractx "unmet dental care needs" often translate into taking more pain killers, that mess up your stomach down the line.
@A_denie @mrdk @engagedpractx That is true. I would still guess that the difference in what kind of work you do, what hours you do it and how much rest and meaningful free time you get is more contributing than the difference in dental care access.
