Interesting analysis of cardiovascular risk and longevity. Show BMI as the wrong thing to focus on, although the closely-linked issue of BP is a key thing to target if you want to live a long healthy life: www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...
Global Effect of Cardiovascular Risk Factors on Lifetime Estimates | NEJM
Five risk factors account for approximately 50% of the global burden of cardiovascular
disease. How the presence or absence of classic risk factors affects lifetime estimates

Are marathons really and ultra endurance events really so taxing you have to digest the lipids out of your brain to keep it fuelled? A rather interesting idea. Does that mean don't expect fast answers to hard questions the day after a marathon....? www.nature.com/articles/d41...
How marathons change runners’ brains: scans point to surprise energy source
After the gruelling races, levels of the nerve-cell insulator myelin were lower, suggesting the brain uses the fatty substance as fuel.
