I spotted this, oh, about a week or two ago. The news channels were displaying photos of victims and some “miracle recoveries” (80+ years) and what I noticed was the victims, e.g., 3 in an Ohio family, were all, let’s say, cherubic, while the old guys who survived were very thin and energetic.

The problem is that there are dozens of these studies with varying results.
In NOLA the highest correlation was Type 2 diabetes. In another, elevated hemoglobin.
I suspect the problem is that there is a lot of overlap.
