Like 2% per year.” “I can't tell someone there's a magical way you're never gonna get arthritis, or you're never going to need an intervention. But I think the most important thing is for people to find ways to keep moving and stay active.” “Tennis and pickleball and any of those types of sports, we see an increase in longevity by 9 years.
