There are very extensive studies done on non-patentable lifestyle choices/activity/smoking which have had similar results over the last 70 odd years. These include the nurses study [0], the bus drivers/conductors study [1] and also the [2] Farmington heart study. The overarching findings here: maintain a healthy BMI (weight), maintain a healthy blood pressure, be active like 10k steps/day active, don’t eat too much processed foods. This will cut incidence of chronic disease a lot, although there will still be the outlier of a healthy 25/yo runner that does of pancreatic cancer due to genetics bc this is inevitable. This has been known forever, however no one wants to follow it because we have fat and sugar in everything.
Of course if we cared about preventive healthcare in the United States we could also greatly reduce the incidence of chronic disease and free up $$ for actually researching interesting aspects of disease and not just putting out fires.
