Turns out regardless of wealth generally healthy adults who make it to old age typically die from various cancers (or falling in the shower) at around the same age as the rest of the cohort. Having large families, lots of friends, and a sunny disposition (as opposed to being an edgy communist for example), minorly but measurably increases your life expectancy.

Citations please. Especially for the stats on edgy communists. Or do you perceive this thread as "pro-Communist", hence all the edgy comments by you in this thread?

Does edgy communism track with a less than sunny disposition, asking for a friend

  Assuming your diet is sane and your weight is under control, you don't smoke/drink and you didn't get into an accident, the next thing to watch out for would be depression and suicide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_causes_of_death_by_rate#By_age_group_(in_the_United_States) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_causes_of_death_by_rat... Social isolation and loneliness amongst the elderly are widely known to lead to adverse health outcomes and shorter life expectancies. https://www.cdc.gov/aging/publications/features/lonely-older-adults.html https://www.cdc.gov/aging/publications/features/lonely-older... Cancers and terminal illnesses of all sorts eventually come for everybody, luck of the draw. But in so far as you can control anything being less stressed and having more friends correlates very well to living a tad longer. You are most welcome to compare life expectancy stats between communist countries and none communist countries and make your own conclusions about life of course ;)

How's it for edgy libertarians? (asking for someone I know)

  If that someone you know is a friend or a loved one tell them that you are probably better off spending time with them than arguing about politics online with either edgy communists or edgy libertarians. And then go to the zoo or something. Have the chef make a you a nice picnic. Try and relax old sport. Don't see what all the halabaloo is about.
