The face of health…

According to this study, having a cat (as we all know, we don’t own them) reduces your risk of a heart attack by almost a third:

Cat owners “appeared to have a lower rate of dying from heart attacks” over 10 years of follow-up compared to feline-free folk, Qureshi said. The magnitude of the effect — a 30 percent reduction in heart attack risk — “was a little bit surprising,” he added. “We certainly expected an effect, because we thought that there was a biologically plausible mechanism at work. But the magnitude of the effect was hard to predict.”

Now take a look at the guy above, who is part of my work environment, and tell me that it isn’t so. I’m just wondering whether having two means a 60 % reduction? ;-) (Via Slashdot)
