Four life-style factors are linked to a shortened healthspan: (1) eating a poor diet, particularly one high in fat, (2) not getting enough exercise, (3) drinking too much alcohol too often, and (4) smoking.

Anyone who wants to can change their expectations and set goals of greater healthspan and well-being.
