| Re: Life expectancy decreasing ? Actually, not that I am aware of. Obesity is on the rise, but life expectancy is how long we live, not how well we live.

| Re: Life expectancy decreasing ? Yes, maybe because the treatment for obesity, heart disease and more is getting better, its only our HLE (Healthy Life Expectancy) is falling ?

| Re: Life expectancy decreasing ? They can keep your heart beating and push air into your lungs, keeping you alive. THAT is what they are counting.

| Re: Life expectancy decreasing ? Actually I would be more worried about AIDS, that would decrease life expectancy a lot. I don't see there will be a cure to it for at least 100 years.
