That is probably still true, just saw a TV ad, that said 10% of Canadian's are diabetic, it's probably closer to 15%-20% of Americans because obesity rates are higher there.
As I mentioned in another thread, a 69yo friend of my wife recent died from a heart attack. He was a ranked marathoner and had a race scheduled for the day after his death.
Don't know if his activities prolonged his life or cut it short.
