Interesting snippet and not surprising. Adaptability or motivational integration seems to be the key to longevity (can we call it will to live?). It would be interesting to see these statistics for recent times with reference to not just hospitalisation but any major change (loosing a longterm partner for example, downsizing from the family home into a unit, moving into care). The hospitalisation seems to be the point of blame for the deaths (see comments above) yet I would put it to you that it's the lack of adaptability to new surrounds (regardless of what they are) that's the real factor. Hospital's just the fall guy (generally speaking of course, not saying there's never been mistreatment to anyone anywhere).

Had a 94yr old relative recently had to leave her home for a care facility and she lasted less than two weeks. Accepting she would never be in a position to be self sufficient, she was mentally ready and, well, what's that Matrix quote; the body cannot live without the mind.
What is that weird thing in the center of the floor where the mop is - there is a reflection of the ceiling light but it also appears to be a depression in the floor, like a rectangular box shape cut into the floor?? Great gallery and thanks for sharing with us, Mr. Motts. You are the greatest.
Kind of unbelievable - this breach of patient confidentiality, all that stuff just sitting around.
