My dad has this theory that there is another factor that was introduced into society 20, 30 or maybe 40 years ago which is accelerating things like this, which is why there is a huge disparity between one person who led a rock a roll lifestyle and lived to 80+, and another person who led a similar lifestyle, but in modern times, barely makes it to 35.
Of course he can't prove this anymore than I can the moon is made of cheese, but you know, it's a good conversation piece if the subject comes up...

Exactly as I put, there is another factor involved, wireless communications, food preservatives etc. His father smoked 40 **** a day, drank like a fish and worked as a stoker in the Navy, lived to 96. My dad has led a similarly unhealthy life and is still alive and kicking.
Contrast that to several people we know my age who are either dead or at deaths door all who have lived similar lifestyles then you could be forgiven for thinking the 'unhealthy lifestyles' wasn't the sole factor in the deaths/problems ty now have.

Everybody knows the "healthy lifestyle" is just a sales pitch.
But we can all walk under a bus tomorrow, be none the wiser and still dead before older age.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

This fact was used as a major factor in Robert Heinlein's "future history" series of books; The Howard Families.
Or are you thinking of some as-yet unsuspected environmental factor?
