However, I heard from several people that Xing Yi and Bagua are (much) better in this regard and that TJQ practicioners actually die pretty young in comparision.
Is this true? And if - I wonder why it is that way? Too much Fa Jin? Bad Habits? Only people that are ill to begin with do TJQ? The style itself is flawed?
Maybe BTDT, but I'm kinda interested in this without causing shitstorms.

from a strictly western medicine perspective (and based on my observations of patients that have come through my clinic): bones will demineralize from disuse, joints will stiffen, muscle will atrophy. in other words: move it or lose it.

White crane guys tend to die around 60 if they don't stop practicing white crane and do something else. I suspect the culprit here is all of the compression breathing they do.
