Baby Boomers outliving their parents

(NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Baby boomers are living longer than their parents, but they're not necessarily as healthy.

A new study found that those born between 1945 and 1964 are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, as well as obesity.

They're also more likely to drink alcohol and less likely to exercise.

But, there is some good news. Baby Boomers are less likely to smoke and suffer fewer heart attacks than their folks did.
