The compression of morbidity hypothesis suggests that individuals can push the onset of chronic illness and disability later in life by adopting healthy lifestyle habits such as healthy diet, exercise, and rest. This aligns with the middle-aged man's goal of living a long and vital life with a quick death, indicating that he is aiming to compress the period of morbidity (illness and disability) towards the end of his life.
