Janice, The argument says that "lean young adults can improve their chances of living a long life by gaining about a pound every year" - this statement says that it only improves their chances of living a long life, it does not say for certain that they will live a long life, so it does take into account that a tendency shared by a given subgroup of population will not be shared by the population as a whole.
