Case Study
Sam Stone will be 49 years of age at his next birthday. He is a school teacher and has taught history at the same high school for 15 years. He has an undergraduate and graduate degree in history from a well known university in Canada. In his spare time, of which he has very little, Sam is working toward his Ph.D. His hobbies are bowling, bridge and poker once a week with "the boys". He tells everyone that he is a non-smoker and doesn't drink too much but every Wednesday poker night, he smokes his weekly cigar and ends up taking a cab home because he is well over the legal limit for drinking and driving.
Sam has never been sick a day in his life; he believes that one of the reasons is because he runs 30 miles a week, works out at a local gym at least three times a week, has a personal trainer he sees every Monday and Thursday and has yearly checkups. He is particularly diligent about this regime because both his father and grandfather had heart attacks in their 50s and his father died in his early 80s of prostate cancer.
