Richard Faragher emphasized that survivorship bias leads to misconceptions about habits influencing longevity, suggesting that the habits of centenarians do not necessarily extend one's life.
Faragher proposes two theories on longevity: one being luck, and the other being genetic advantages, noting that these do not justify adopting health tips from centenarians.
He highlights that typical centenarians often engage in unhealthy habits such as minimal exercise and poor diets, contradicting established health guidelines for longevity.
The call to avoid health advice from centenarians underlines a critical point: not all long-lived individuals follow practices supported by medical and epidemiological research.
