A geriatrician has taken a look at Santa Clause's health habits.
Dr. Thomas Cavalieri, dean of the Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine, said that because Santa is probably more than 550 years old, a lot of people would say that growing older hasn't been a problem for him, asserting that aging successfully means more than adding years to your life. Successful aging means you are adding life to your years.
He said that the 1823 poem, 'A Visit from St. Nicholas,' describes Santa as "chubby and plump" and, 190 years later, he still looks like he could lose a few pounds.
