there are indeed many many studies about resistance training in older populations - my point was that the "health" reporters who get column space in the newspapers and the TV reporters who produce a 2-3 min spot on the health segment of the local news nearly always flavor their articles towards endurance athletes rather than those who weight train - when the latter activity has so many other good effects on longevity and quality of life.
