Thigh circumference and risk of heart disease and premature death: prospective cohort study

This study appears to show that survivors tended to be younger,
taller people, with higher fat-free mass compared with shorter, more
elderly inactive smokers. So what's new? We can't change our age, but we
can choose to improve our level of activity and fat-free mass (e.g.
through strength training).
