No one knows for sure; that's my point. There are many aspects to being healthy, as you said. But that can be turned around, as follows: There are many aspects to being unhealthy as well. For example, some people may feel well but their sense of well-being may be propped up by medications. And too many medications usually spells trouble in the long run.
USF stated, in one of their lectures, that they would eventually compare the results of our health survey with other surveys of other communities. They also said they would have a follow up lecture to give us the results of our survey. I'm waiting.

This community offers lots of activities, programs, sports, community services, things shown to keep people active, healthy and happy. Many other retirement communities do not offer as much.

People usually adapt to whatever is available. I visited a small retirement community in Zepherhills FL one morning (several years ago). I was amazed at how many people where out walking.

Time is the true test of what really "does a body good.". Many studies show positive results and those are the ones brought to light. Negatives might not initially show up or if they do, they may be minimized. Over time, a study either continues to prove itself or it is shown that the negatives outweigh the positives.

I'm glad you brought that up. That's exactly why I always look to large long term studies to keep things in perspective. I'm talking about studies that last 20+ years. One is "The Okinawa Program" and another is "The China Study".
