Attitudes of the fit elderly to health issues compared with younger people.
This study examined the habits and attitudes of a group of elderly fit people in relation to health when compared with younger individuals in order to ascertain whether or not a 'successful' group in terms of longevity and morbidity differs from the rest of the adult population. Fit elderly people were, in general, less likely to adhere to standard guidelines for healthy eating than their unfit counterparts or younger age groups.
