That doesn't mean the lungs of Chinese who are 65+ are in as good of shape as Americans of similar age. Chinese men are dying from a lifetime of smoking 2 packs a day.
American men are dying from being overweight, out of shape, alcohol and opiods.
I'm not claiming Americans will have a dramatically lower fatality rate. Just that there is some reason for hope.
