'were small and not meaningful' why is this on the front page of HN?
The perennial question.
Well, at least it’s spurred intellectually curious discussion.
Is it? What I mostly see is people describing their anecdotal experience and opinions about exercise in general.
I assume that only a few of them are actually in the age group of 65-85, so relevance of personal experience is dubious.
To be fair there are some questioning the study methodology and conclusions.
