Where people forget to die.

A new model to predict the life expectancy of older people relies less on their specific disease diagnoses and more on factors such as the ability to grocery shop, the amount of certain small cholesterol particles circulating in their blood, and whether they never or only occasionally smoked.
The findings provide a way to predict whether a person over the age of 70 is likely to live two, five or 10 years.
"This study was designed to determine the proximal causes of longevity—the factors that portend whether someone is likely to live two more years or 10 more years," said Virginia Byers Kraus, M.D., Ph.D..
Kraus and colleagues launched their inquiry at an opportune time, having been directed to a cache of 1,500 blood samples from a 1980s longitudinal study that enrolled older people.
The researchers were able to delve into health factors to identify a core set of 17 predictive variables that have a causal impact on longevity.
The analysis found that a leading factor associated with longevity across each of the study's benchmarks—two-, five- and 10-years after participants had their blood drawn—was physical function, which was defined as an ability to go grocery shopping or perform housecleaning chores. Surprisingly, having cancer or heart disease was not among the main predictors.
For older people living two years beyond the time their blood had been drawn, the leading factor associated with longevity was having an abundance of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol—and not just any HDL lipids, but high volumes of very small HDL particles.
At five years beyond the original blood draw, just being of a younger age was predictive of longevity, along with cognitive function. And among the longest survivors—those living 10 years—the best predictor was a person's smoking history, with non-smokers faring best.

I became concerned with the possible danger of the mRNA vaccines when in the past 2 years my sweetheart, my brother, and my son all had cancer. I know the first two got mRNA vacs and I think my son did also. In my entire lifetime of 84 years only 3 of 12 close relatives ever had cancer that I heard about. My aunt died of lung cancer at 91 after a lifetime of smoking. My father had remission from prostate cancer at 87 and quit smoking but died at 90 of a stroke (probably from anger episode). My maternal uncle died in his 90s after many years of treating lymphoma he developed soon after his son was killed in an auto accident. They were all careful eaters.
Do you have any specific references, especially scientific ones on vaccines and cancers? After 3 cases of cancer in people close to me in 2 years I am seeking more info on this possible cause and effect.

Where people forget to die.
The other side smoked unfiltered Camels, bought vodka in cheap gallon jugs, ate crap, and were hateful atheists. The also lived to nearly 100 (or more).
I told my financial advisor, "Let's plan to 105, just to be safe!"
My mom was the same way and lived to be 90.
From an exercise standpoint, she was rolling all the time.

Mine’s 41, and except for smoking, I have to watch my diet, with 5 stents in heart, stage 2 mild kidney disease, Diabetes Type 1 —> now Type 2, pancreatitis, peripheral neuropathy.
I'm 75, so just about everything is slow with me...except having to run to the bathroom every half-hour.
Consider looking into Arterosil:

It would seem to hit most of your issues, naturally.
Thanks; I’ll check with my Drs on it.
Keep learning
Keep loving
Keep laughing
Keep leaving (your cares behind)
Keep longing (dream about your future)
Keep looking (your best)
Keep laboring
Keep leaning (rely upon the Lord)
Keep listening (to God)
I'm down for all except the "Laboring" part d;)
It’s not cheap, but it is available on Amazon for 10% off on a subscription.
Hope I won’t be a burden :-) I was in an online group for caregivers if parents, and some of the parents being cared for were my age 😳.
Just what I thought! You young whippersnappers don't have enough respect for your elders.
Regards,
Please add me to your list? Thanks
If I had read your comment more carefully, I would have seen the above.
Excellent comment by you.
I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Apologies to everyone I came into contact with!;-)
I apologize for being such a crank. I should have “exercised” a little restraint.;-)

No biggie. Me, I went out and did a little hiking with the dog.
“...was physical function, which was defined as an ability to go grocery shopping or perform housecleaning chores.”
No problem. Thanks for the conversation.
