That could be attributed towards a consistent exercise regime and persistant to stay fit and normal diet

2.8 years i.e. less than three years is not significant and there is possibility of even reversal of results if another sample is taken. When you consider normal life span of seventy or eighty years, the period of 2.8 years hardly matters.

Exactly! My opinion is that such researches are nothing but waste of time! When life expectancy is already so long, people are living until ripe ages of 80 and 90 already, 2.8 years hardly matters anyway! I also fail to understand the real motive of such exercises! :blink:

I would live longer too if I won a single medal in all my lifetime and received lakhs of rupees from various governments as reward plus an apartment or two thrown in the package and maybe a well-paying job somewhere! I won't have to worry about earning food so I would definitely live longer! :woohoo: :laugh:

I know, when they win it pours ! the central and state governments compete with each other on giving them cash rewards,sites and houses, and one wonders why so many ? There should be a system where once a government site or house is given they should not be given any more anywhere within the country.they can well afford to buy more with their own money...Also what kind of signal is being sent to poor homeless people for whom life is a constant struggle...
