Otherwise, maybe the health outcomes are improved simply because the patient received above-average medical attention for common chronic conditions and because the people participating in genetic research are self-selected and thus probably much more health-conscious with much higher future-time orientation, intelligence, and resources to spend on (preventative) health care than baseline.<br><br>My hypothesis: people who receive above-baseline professional medical attention throughout their lifetime have above-baseline lifetime health when compared to similar people. <br><br>WHOA MIND IS BLOWNAndrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173393362223742012.post-64509345657320662302009-04-23T07:52:00.000-07:002009-04-23T07:52:00.000-07:00Andrew, Your hypothesis is weak.
