[ QUOTE ]
Blarg, to say that mobility has nothing to do with, say, liver failure does not contradict that mobility may help the elderly avoid, say, a hard fall, or that increased bone density might reduce the consequences or help in recovery (I don't know that does, either) from such a fall-- which in many cases is the beginning of the end.

I think you guys are talking past each other a bit, though I understand the negative reaction to some hyperbole there...

Yes, I was just trying to get the hyperbole in line. I wouldn't argue against the value of physical development.
