“…3) that the arithmetic averages of the awareness level of the elderly according to the seven areas specified in the research and shown in the figure , as we note that the highest of these averages is in the field of awareness of milk and its products and the role of nutritional supplements, and it reached 3.6 and is equivalent to 72%, and the lowest of them was the level of awareness of carbohydrates With an average of 1.59, or 31%, in general, there are four medium areas (adult nutrition, milk and its products, proteins, and exercise), and the remaining three areas were weak, namely (eating dietary fiber, fruits and vege Chart s, and carbohydrates). This percentage agreed with a study he Conducted by Nieman et al (1998).that the awareness of the elderly about the importance of eating fruits, vegetables and fiber in general is low, and this percentage varies between vegetarians who love to eat meat, as vegetarians prefer eating fruits and vegetables more and they have sufficient awareness of their importance. It is worth noting here that the low level of awareness of the elderly in the field of carbohydrate nutrition and its damages It is worth noting here that the low level of awareness of the elderly in the field of carbohydrate nutrition and its damage is one of the causes of obesity for the elderly, as well as the lack of consumption of fruits and vege Chart s, is one of the causes of malnutrition, especially among females, which was shown by studies of the Central Bureau of Statistics and Information Technology (CSO, 2008) .…”

“…Alcoholism is a risk factor for heart disease. Mounting evidence suggests that a vegetarian diet may provide protection against heart disease (e.g., Melby, Goldflies, Hyner, & Lyle, 1989; Nieman et al, 1989). If, by abusing alcohol, some left-handers raise their risk, do other left-handers, because of their vegetarian diet, lower theirs?…”

Do left-handers die sooner than right-handers? Commentary on Coren and Halpern's (1991) "Left-handedness: A marker for decreased survival fitness."

Cross-sectional life span studies of handedness typically show decreasing percentages of left-handers in older age groups. In an article in Psychological Bulletin, S. Coren and D. F. Halpern (1991) argued that this age trend reflects the shorter life span of left-handers than right-handers. They presented 2 studies of their own providing what they regard to be direct evidence that left-handers, on average, die sooner than right-handers. They also proposed a variety of reasons for what they called left-handers' "decreased survival fitness." I discuss Coren and Halpern's reasons for rejecting a more conventional explanation of the life span data; the 2 studies that they offered in support of their argument; their analysis of other evidence they invoked to account for left-handers' putative decreased survival fitness; and, finally, new studies in which the longevity explanation was tested by more direct means than have been used thus far. I conclude that the case for the "decreased survival fitness" hypothesis cannot be sustained.
