Statins Don't Help Elderly Live Longer

How dare they call people over 75 elderly! I can assure you that despite my username, I am no such thing.

"Elderly" is nothing to fuss over. My ex-husband who is over 80 has been in hospital and was upset to read the word "geriatric" on his notes. Personally, at 76 I bite on the bullet and call myself "old".

That is well within the guidelines of waist measurement half his height.

Is that his actual waist size as measured with a tape measure, or his trouser size? There can be a big difference.
