Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #59 Life expectancy? Not sure that's something I want to know...lol! I like the fitness calculator I posted, because it uses actual inputs based on your lifestyle and habits and current health situation. What really bugs me about the whole system of health "care" in the world today (especially in the US) is the incestuous relationship between government and big food/pharma  ). Now we have Ozempic for obese people. No improvement in food, just jab people with a drug that has potential side effects and call it "good". It's not good...it's a simulation of health, not the real thing. It would not surprise me if there are real problems from this approach in the not-too-distant future.End of rant...sorry. Going for a walk, after a breakfast of yogurt, fruit and granola...  |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #65Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #59 But not for long? Are you saying that your life expectancy is shorter in the US? Perhaps the stats are skewed. |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #68Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #67Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #65Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #59 That is interesting, there is similar data for UK here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationa...20for%20females. Smaller dip as a result of Covid. How much down to healthcare free at the point of use I wonder, and what other factors at play. |

Zitat von Valks im Beitrag #70Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #66 You belong on the RR board, youngster! LOL! When people think of life expectancy, they attribute it partly to "improved" healthcare. However, at least in the US, the healthcare industry is exactly that...an "industry". While I'm healthy and fit, my doctor wanted to put me on statin drugs. I asked what was the impetus for that, as every data point of my health was good. He showed me a calculator that takes inputs like BP, heart rate, age, etc., and the calculator said statins were recommended for my situation. So I took the same calculator and input some health numbers that only the most pure, well-nourished, low blood pressure reading, athletic human could achieve and the calculator said..."You need statins". What a joke...and just another sign that the medical industry has been subverted by "big pharma". |

A bit of nostalgia for my electronics lab work making failure analysis data accessible for managers in Rank Xerox with what we called, "pretty pictures for the hard of thinking." Age bands on the X axis, quantity on the Y. Spam goes here |
