Lessons from centenarians: why prevention of chronic disease is critical
“To me, the takeaway for us, as physicians or people who want to have an extra five years of life or 10 years of life… is nothing matters more than prevention of chronic disease. And by the way, you don’t get to prevent it once you have your heart attack. Secondary prevention is not prevention.” – Peter Attia, M.D.
