Men more than women, and it differs by individual, but age does affect health.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Maybe a President's Age Doesn't Matter That Much [View all] Autumn Feb 2020 OP
Epigenetic Age gredinger Feb 2020 #1
If Trump weren't wealthy he would be in a nursing home or dead with his unhealthy habits. Autumn Feb 2020 #3
Yep, absolutely true. Image tRump without his orange pancake mix RKP5637 Feb 2020 #12
He's a nightmare as it is. That would transition him into a horror show freak. Autumn Feb 2020 #13

This doesn't apply to Sanders NYMinute Feb 2020 #2
What you are ignoring from your article is Sanders has not had previous multiple heart attacks Autumn Feb 2020 #5
Right, a heart attack and stent after 75 has no effect on life expectancy. MrsCoffee Feb 2020 #7
Said no one ever. Dr. Rihal is a doctor so he maybe into science. If you think that the Autumn Feb 2020 #11
That article has nothing to do with the nonsense you are selling. MrsCoffee Feb 2020 #14
I'm selling nothing. I commented on an article another poster posted in this sub thread. Autumn Feb 2020 #17
That chart in the OP is based on gender and age using the Social Security life expectancy calculator Autumn Feb 2020 #19
Well that chart says Sanders has a life expectancy of 9.6 years. MrsCoffee Feb 2020 #20
I'm sure. Autumn Feb 2020 #21
Autumn, by your logic you ignore Sanders' age Cary Mar 2020 #30
re: "The life expectancy in someone who is 78 and has had a stent is drastically reduced." thesquanderer Feb 2020 #9
The great level of care given to the hair-splitting and hyper-parsing and nit-picking... NurseJackie Feb 2020 #25

What is the life expectancy for a man who suffers a heart attack after 75? MrsCoffee Feb 2020 #6
It varies based on things like whether they are a smoker or are obese, but... thesquanderer Feb 2020 #10
The median average is 3.1 years for those over 75. MrsCoffee Feb 2020 #18
Median and average are two different things. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #23
The fact that this is even a discussion that has to be had raises red flags everywhere. MrsCoffee Feb 2020 #24
I was merely addressing the math. It was no statement on Sanders' suitability for nomination. nt thesquanderer Feb 2020 #27
Life expectancy merely based on age is not enough in the case of Sanders. Sloumeau Feb 2020 #8
Only if one ignores context. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #15
Age doesn't matter as much as health does. You can't excuse Sanders refusing to release his full highplainsdem Feb 2020 #22
... why withhold that which was previously promised? NurseJackie Feb 2020 #28
The health of the individual POTUS absolutely does. Age affects health. ehrnst Feb 2020 #26
Are folks clamoring about Sanders' physical condition also overlooking Biden's cognitive condition? JudyM Feb 2020 #29
