LDS Live Longer

Random cool article:

Basically, we've long had anecdotal evidence that active Mormons live longer than the general population, now its official. Study by UCLA followed a bunch of Mormons for 25 years and found those who don't smoke, attend church weekly, are married and had at least 12 years of education had the longest life expectancy. Namely 84 years for men and 86 years for women. That would be 5 years longer than the national average for women and TEN years longer than the national average for men.

Not too shabby!
