Margie Lachman and her colleagues argue that having a sense of control in the middle age  is one of the most important modifiable factors in delaying the onset of diseases in middle adulthood and reducing the frequency of diseases in late adulthood

Explanation:

The ability to have self-control and not indulge in unhealthy behavior that might pose a threat to one’s health is vital. The behavior one portrays in the middle age will affect their health later in life. Unhealthy diets and lack of exercise are two of the leading causes of poor health both in young adults and the elderly.  

Inability to adopt healthy lifestyle pose all sort of health risk in people’s lives causing diseases that could have been avoided or controlled. As people age, they only adopt healthy living after they have had a health scare or after a recommendation from the doctor and it is not easy to maintain the newly adopted lifestyle.
