> In other words, healthier people live longer. Nothing "unique" or surprising in this article that I could find.

Did you really read the article to the end? because it explores interesting questions beyond simply "healthier people live longer".

From the article: > Some questions researchers have long pondered is whether one of the keys to a centenarian's resilience mainly lies in their ability to postpone major diseases, or whether they're simply better at surviving them. Or, could it be that they avoid certain diseases altogether?

Yes I did. This is the same question I'm pondering:

What is it that causes some people to not get chronic cardiovascular and metabolic disease?

Hence my comment honing in on what are the likely biggest causes of these diseases and thus how to avoid getting them.

I agree with the article actually that figuring out how to be healthy, ergo how to avoid these diseases, is a good way to live a longer healthier life. I was just saying it's not surprising or unique.
