Rather, a complex combination of factors combine so that fewer of the old and oldest old report left-handedness, according to a Penn State researcher. Some factors involved include pressure to switch hands, more women than men in the older populations, adaptation to a predominantly right-hand world and a rightward trend caused by the aging process. *************************************************************************************************** Someplace I read where Lefty's die younger than Right handers. Obviously, these people did too, but now they are proving its not true. Isn't that GREAT. Now I don't have to worry that I have been living on borrowed time since I was 56. This is really a good article, I urge all lefty's to read it. Curious Connie, please find out how many lefty's were born on Halloween? just me, Marjorie
