Tennis Players Live a Lot Longer

The dentist I had in the 60s and early 70s died of a heart attack while playing tennis. I’m not sure he was over 50.

Sure. That’s why that data is only useful in terms of average results from large populations. The odds favor those who are getting exercise and eat right.

The guy who wrote the bestseller “The Complete Book of Running”, Jim Fixx was found dead of a heart attack by the roadside at age 52. That doesn’t mean runners are more likely to die from it, and it’s safer to just sit in front of the TV with a beer and a pizza.
