I've seen 30 years or more, which is probbaly better, especially since the average subject was still in an age in whcih not many people are dying, so a few deaths can make percentages seem much more significant than they are. (Campos makes this point very well, with numbers from actual studies.) I have to say the abstract confuses me. Did they count actual deaths, or just deaths predicted by how people scored on the hazard ratios? Are you providing us with another stellar example of intellectual sloth, or are you intentionally misrepresenting the facts? Re-read the abstract and try responding to the actual facts presented. Is this another example of you allegedly kicking my butt? LOL! Gee, sounds like syphilis, doesn't it?
