> [@asahi](#): > > Elizabeth Warren isn’t that much younger than Biden … :smack: This was answered in the post immediately prior to yours, but let’s look at numbers. Warren is 6.59 years younger than Biden. That’s most of a decade. A 70 year old woman has the same probability of dying as a 64½ year old man. A 77 year old man has the same probability of dying as an 80-year old woman. Thus, assuming illness rates correlate with death rates, Biden is effectively at least ten (gender-adjusted) years older than Warren. Yes, that’s Ten with a T. 🙂 Of course, those are _average_ numbers, and I’m the first to scream objections when overall averages are applied to specifics. All three of the front-runners seem healthy and strong for their respective ages (and all three seem healthier than Trump). Among the group,\*\*\* it is Warren whose stamina seems most impressive.\*\*\* How many “selfies” have already been taken with Warren since she began campaigning? _ **40,000+ by one estimate!** _ > [@asahi](#): > > Elizabeth Warren isn’t that much younger than Biden … No. Ten years.
