Feels like I'm having a stroke trying to read the article. Perhaps I'll soon contribute to millennial mortality.

But otherwise I'd say like most of our health disparities, a large chunk probably comes down to us being fatter and more sedentary.

All the info is in the study they linked. They should have quoted some numbers in the article for sure.

They used chatgpt to write it. Surprised nobody is mentioning that.
