Survey for "Boomers"

This past summer, I had conversations with various people about health.  At some point in the discussion, I asked if the person is in better general health than their parents.  After they answered, I asked, why?  The responses were both enlightening and in some cases shocking.

It prompted me to take notes.  Later, a matrix showing how people responded was developed.

If you have not responded to this survey before, you are invited to do so.  The criteria is you must be a "Boomer" (born between 1946 and 1964).  No names or personal information is required.  Simply answer the question and explain why you answered as you did.

Indicate if you are Male or Female.

Question:  Are you in better general health then your parents?

Answer:  Yes or No

Follow-up:  Why?

Examples of responses to date:  Exercise, Diet, Environment, Economic hardship, No access/could not afford health care, Lack of education.

Your reason why you are/are not in better health than your parents may be different than those shown.

I look forward to your response.  Check this blog for periodic updates on this survey.
