something about whirlwinds being reaped comes to mind.

the interesting thing about this (from as much as I've heard) is a lot of it is based on "self reporting". In other words they asked people how healthy they felt / thought they were.

This might say more about our neurosis regarding health than anything else.

I dont buy this crud for a second. I didn't slog through the whole thing, but, just maybe, baby-boomers have more chronic health problems than the previous generation because when grandpa with his high blood pressure and diabetes turned 60, he dropped dead, and thus vanished from the numerator. Now, they live longer, but less than healthy existences. We'll see when the final life expectancy numbers come in. My money's on the boomers.

Yeah, but it sounds like you're on the boomers' side not because of the healthy lifestyles they lead, but because of medical science.
