Risk (a chance of an adverse event) of death always approaches 100% given enough time. Eventually the set of all possible events that can happen to you is smaller and smaller, and proportionally more of the probability space is occupied by events that lead to your death.
- gregjor 5y agoWho said anything about adverse? Every person alive will die, 100% chance. I understand the point of the article and the hundreds of other like it proclaiming coffee or red wine or friends reduce the “risk of death.” They mean to say reduces the number of test subjects who died during the study period. Nothing reduces the risk, though. We all die.
