Amish people have lower rates of some health conditions than the general population, but they also have some higher rates of others:
Cancer
Amish have lower cancer rates than the general population, including lower rates of skin cancer. This may be due to their lifestyle, which includes limited tobacco and alcohol use, and genes that may reduce their susceptibility to cancer. However, Amish adults have lower rates of prostate and colorectal cancer screening than non-Amish adults.
Diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia
Amish have lower rates of these conditions than non-Amish Caucasians. This may be due to their higher physical activity levels.
Obesity
Amish have lower rates of obesity than the general population, with Amish children being about one-third as likely to be obese as non-Amish children.
COVID-19 vaccination
Amish are under-vaccinated for COVID-19 compared to the general population.
Cardiovascular disease
Amish have slightly higher rates of blood pressure and heart disease than other populations. This may be due to their diet, which is heavy on pancakes, eggs, sausage, meat, potatoes, gravy, and bread.
Injury
The top three mechanisms of injury leading to mortality in the Amish are falls, pedestrian struck, and farming accidents.
Amish people also tend to use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), such as folk medicine, spiritual practice, and alternative health practitioners.

Cool chat gpt readout. Any sources or info actually worth reading though?
There’s a word for “alternative medicine” that works.
Medicine.
But sure, keep simping for a group that has both horrific child sexual abuse issues and horrific animal abuse issues. They’re just awesome people.
Incidentally, you didn’t bother sourcing your claims. I wonder why that is?
