My answer is. - Look at the raw measument data, they tell the story of how X Y Z was created. Out of that we may conclude if the certanty of the X Y Z. Did the obejct move or has the measurments shifted due to fixed points having been moved. Ect. When you do a study you go in with setup to find out if a hypothesis holds. The other way is to design a study that measures things as accurately as possible, then you start to look for correlations and probable causation I guess funding is an issue here since there is no clear outcome.

    Great point around 20:00! All the young protein-chugging weight lifters think that if they just keep lifting and chugging protein when they're old, they'll live forever without the dreaded sarcopenia. They don't yet realize that exercise depends on healthy blood vessels. When your blood vessels stiffen and clog, eating more artery-clogging steak won't help you keep your muscle. I looked into longevity of bodybuilders, and it's NOT good. They may not suffer from sarcopenia, but they die of something else, like cardiovascule disease, long before sarcopenia becomes a concern. Case in point: Charles Poliquin. I found a couple bodybuilders who have lived into old age, and both gave up animal protein in favor of plant-based as they aged.

Are currently getting totally screwed by doctors, who advocate using maximum doses of statins(usually Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin) as the primary treatment for these patients. A 25% increase in lp(a) using a 10mg dose of rosuvastatin, is not something to be overlooked in a patient with a natural +500 nmol/L concentration measured in their blood. But the sad thing is, that economics play a big role in this, as better drugs like PCSK9 inhibitors ae too expensive and thus not covered by insurance in most if not all countries on planet earth. And forthcoming lp(a) targeting drugs, will also be very expensive and thus not covered by insurance for these patients as well. And only for secondary treatment, meaning.....you may be offered it, if you're lucky and survived your first heart attack! Not an optimal situation for these patients, to say the least! 🤨👎 😉
