Is it a last 20 year development? I remember people going to the gym in the '90s. Step aerobics anyone?
- ggm 3y agothe cohort who died of heart attacks were not young. If you were gym young in the 90s, you formed the body of people who didn't die over the next 30 years, and helped moved the dial. If you were gym old in the 90s, and lived on tater tots smothered in lard, chain smoked and drank sprite out of a bucket, you were the cohort who did die over the next 30 years. Mr Kurtz, he dead. (Marlon Brando wouldn't have known a Gym after the waterfront)
- HlessClaudesman 3y agoYeah, remember we are talking about effects in the aggregate, was the 1980s / 90s fitness trend actually widespread in different cohorts or just more visible in your cohort? I dont know, but today we do see quite a few men of prime heart attack age in their 50s who are absolutely Jeff Bezos jacked. Increased fitness and decreased smoking in most groups seems to explain the results.
