Adventist Lifestyle and Longevity

I stumbled upon a study on what affect of being a Seventh-day Adventist have on a person.
  1. Children born into an Adventist family tends to be 99g heavier than general public.
  2. Total cholesterol is 0.86 mmol/L lower among Adventist men as compared to men in general.
  3. Death due to cardiovascular is much lower among Adventist.
  4. Deaths due to cancer is not much different than the non-Adventists. These could be that the Norwegean have lower cancer rate compared to the rest of the world.
  5. Entering the Church at an early age contributes in reducing death due to diseases
I find this is so amazing that being born into Adventist family gives you a head start on longevity. Stay with the faith.
