I don't think so either; but the best would be to ask Villagefarang or Bluesofa who know me. Other members of this forum know me; these are the first two nicknames that came to my mind By cons I have not yet had the wonderful chance to meet POTY 2019 ; maybe one day ?

Compassion and empathy and sympathy are nice, but can not help when things go bad I'm 65, I have seen so many of my generation give control of their health to the "medical" profession, believing they would save them no matter what. Many mocked me for telling them to take care of themselves, who's laughing now! Probably makes no difference as we are now all in the same "prison" captives, freedom lost, ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JungleBiker Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Quotes from the first post: "Average age at admission > around 60 for both groups" "BMI greater than 25 > Covid 70%; non-Covid 60%" "Being clinically overweight is also more of a risk factor (good luck in the USA)." But surely you have to look at the whole population for comparison? According to this data... https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn03336/ (which is for England 2017), for the age group 55 - 64 (trying to match the average age at admission of around 60), 73% were overweight or obese (= to BMI over 25) - this is for men and women but men are more likely to be overweight than women. So if the covid-19 cases include more men than women, yet "only" 70% have a BMI greater than 25, then it could be the case that NOT being fat is a risk factor???

Also exercise twice a day (indoors on my treadmill nowadays!) and long stopped any medications. Keto alledgedly improves your immune system so hope that's true. Self isolatiing for a week now, I believe this is the most effective for a no-longer-fat bloke over 60. Stay safe Well I must say, kudos on yer 'new' lifestyle there young feller. I wish some of my friends would do something along these lines. A bit off topic, and I DON'T want to stick me nose into your business/lifestyle. But I hope you're not doing long long periods at one time on yer treadmill ( as some people do ) Research has shown that long periods of jogging tends to SHRINK the hearts of 'elderly' men/women, and cause health problems. You might wanna look into doing HIIT on yer treadmill. just sayin'...Keep up the healthy lifestyle. Sorry if this sounds like I'm trying to tell you how to live yer life.

I have an irregular heart beat, calcium on the heart valves, had a cardiogram at the Sattahip hospital and the doctor said to me "you have good pump" I thought that'll do me. My grand father smoked Woodbines all his life and it never did him any harm, mind you he was 27 when he died. Yes genetics is a factor, but one can make things much worse or better by a lifestyle. Sure some people live forever on Baloney and junk food. No doubt about it. But it is not the way to statistically roll the dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My treadmill routine consists of 2 x 30 minute 'walks' around 4/5 Km/hour sunup and sundown. So in a day I walk around 5 km. I never run. In my 50's i'd run as a fanatical gym member, 5 times a week and all it got me was angina. I was not fat then, but became obese after. I bought the treadmill for the prolongued rainy season here, now it's being used by the wife too. Stay safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All supports my original comment: "The problem is that statistics are always open to interpretation. "Lies, damned lies, and statistics". In the case of COVID, not enough is known about total number of infections, unlike 'normal flu', where years of data allow for accurate modelling." Also, I like beer, and I've no plan to stop drinking it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This radio broadcast describes the threat to individuals from COVID in terms of concentrated risk. We will all, regardless of age, experience a years risk in a couple of weeks. The amount of risk in a year being based upon our personal health/age circumstances. If you think you'll make it through a normal year you'll probably make it through COVID.

Dap Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 21 hours ago, 4MyEgo said: Solly to be the party pooper, but I think it's time for a lot of guys here on TVF to start think about their health and look at themselves really hard as a vehicle, all jokes aside if they are worried about the Covid-19. If you don't maintain your vehicle, in this example (you), you are going to have problems as we all know vehicles age, apart from normal wear and tear, that said, if you change the oil/s (good oil/s) every 10-15 clicks, your motor should run good for many years to come, same applies for the fuel you use, etc, etc, etc. Longevity can be achieved by eating well, exercising, maintaining a healthy weight and, drinking moderately, i.e. maintaining the vehicle (you) with the good oil/s, good fuel etc, etc, etc. Ever heard the saying; your body is your temple ? Too many of us abuse our bodies because it's too easy to be lazy, it's our biggest excuse, that said, each to their own temple, as for myself, I will keep maintaining my vehicle best I can, because it's not only the Covid-19 out there that we have to worry about, it's the internals of our body that we need to keep looking after so as to fight off, the biggest killers, heart attacks, (already had one 13 years ago) strokes, diabetes, these are a given from how we maintain our vehicle, through the oils and fuels we feed out vehicle, the viruses are just something else. If our vehicle is running good, and our immune system being part of that, then we have a good chance of fighting off the Covid-19, let alone the bigger killers. You must be incredibly wealthy to be changing your oil every 10 to 15 kilometers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
