TRUE

Explanation:

Longevity is very complex, so only athletic status is not enough to understand it. Athletic status is a good sign that a person is likely to have more years of life because it is a sign of health. However, this does not serve as a universal parameter. Some people may have athletic status and be sick. Researchers suggest that understanding a person's ability to live longer requires understanding their lifestyle, such as diet, exercise routine, reading, daily stress level, and more.
