By taking questions from others and from my group, i see how finding the life syles of old people are harder and more opionated then medical and social interactions. By looking at all the different answers, some might be wrong or right depending on where to look, like if it is only in a small study, or in a certian area. Old folks are very generalized in this society and many people want to change them by making them "feel" younger and making them change their life syles or their minds.
