It’s all downhill from 27, new research reveals.
At least if you’re a millennial, chronic conditions and diseases start to rear their heads in your late-20s, and from there things continue to deteriorate, according to a new Blue Cross/Blue Shield report.
Millennials as a generation are in overall poorer health than their predecessors, Gen X-ers, with higher rates of depression, hyperactivity, substance misuse, type 2 diabetes and Crohn’s disease, among other chronic conditions.
The report authors warn that the healthcare community needs to be aware that millennials are facing growing and perhaps unprecedented health concerns that could cost them years of life and cost the US economy money and productivity. […]

Mid 60’s and going strong. The youngsters at work are always having health issues. ( Or are they just taking 3 day weekends?) I haven’t taken a sick day in at least 15 years. Still they seem to be the preferred employees.. whatever.
I think that stuff is evil.
I’ll let Jeff Bezos know. ;)
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
But I feel fiiiiiine.
