Those types of studies along with studies and common sense that suggest strength can be beneficial to quality of life and fighting off mortality are why I don’t worry about working out and eating a healthy diet with adequate protein.Originally Posted by Pindsvin

Bodybuilding is much more than an hour in the gym a few days a week---it's a lifestyle that changes all your perceptions about how to live, eat, and rest. It feeds the mind as much (and sometimes more so) than the body.

First, you apparently didn't read the post directly above you.Originally Posted by BronzeDog
Second, speaking of Google...
John Grimek lived to be 88. Clarence Ross lived to be 84. Bill Pearl is still alive at 88. Bob Hoffman lived to be 84. Bernarr McFadden lived to be 87. George Hackenschmidt lived to be 90. Mark Forest is still alive at 86. Jack Lallane lived to be 96.
Also, low BMI is considered a medical risk factor for increased mortality in the elderly:

You have your logic backwards. It's true that most of the extremely long-lived members of the population, those who survive to be centenarians, tend to be lean, it is not true that low BMI is generally a factor in longevity. For those who live to be super-old, genetics plays a very large role, and for those who are active through their 90's and into their 100's, they may be lean, but they still have a high muscle to body fat ratio. Most people who are underweight are also low in muscle mass.The finding that these somewhat contradictory measures are both associated with higher mortality helps account for the so-called obesity paradox – the fact that mortality is lower in overweight, mildly obese, and moderately obese persons than in those who are underweight or of low-normal weight, said Dr. Raj Padwal of the University of Alberta, Edmonton, and his associates.
So, don't mind bursting your bubble, "bruh", but you don't have a clue what you're talking about.“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
