The men in my family don't have a consistent problem that leads to their demise.
Grampa on Mom's side was a diabetic who didn't bother changing what he ate all that much and a one-two blow of dementia and heart problems associated with that neglect got him. At 76 years old.
Great Grampa on Dad's side had his brain just quit. 85 years old.
Grampa on Dad's side got done in by undetected prostate cancer that had metastasized into his bones and further. 77 years old.
Dad is trucking along at 84 years old and nobody has told me about any health scares he's had. We don't talk.
Nobody really did the diet and exercise bit, but all of them remained active. Mom's dad probably should have watched what he ate though.
My dad's sister tells me that high cholesterol is a thing in the family and nothing really gets it under control and the women in the family have been making it to their 90's regular like.
