Findings: distant TB attack reduces risk, polio residuals reach normal life span, migraines don’t shorten life, nervous breakdowns only slightly raise mortality, cerebral concussions without impairment don’t raise mortality, cancer survivors regain normal life expectancy, familial cancer history shows no strong heredity, multi relative heart deaths under 60 raise risk but some heart murmurs are harmless. The overall tone is optimistic about longer life if individuals maintain health.
