43rd President George W. Bush invited then President-Elect Barack Obama and former Presidents George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter to a meeting in the Oval Office on January 7, 2009.
From BBC Health Check:
- Your boss will probably live longer than you.
- President Barack Obama’s job has possibly more responsibility than any other in the world, yet his status means he’s likely to be healthier and live longer than all his staff.
- We used to think of the top jobs as the stressful ones, with chief executives keeling over from heart attacks at the age of 50. Not anymore.
- When it comes to health, status in life is crucial.
