Vic Seixas, who won 15 Grand Slam tennis tournaments in the 1950s, died on Friday. The oldest living Grand Slam champion, he was 100. His death was announced by the International Tennis Hall of Fame, which did not say where he died. “From 1940 to 1968 Vic Seixas was the face of American tennis,” the Hall of Fame declared when he was inducted in 1971. Seixas won two Grand Slam singles championships, eight mixed doubles titles and five men’s doubles championships.

Multiple studies have shown how irregular work hours can harm overall health and social life, but the new paper views the relationship through a “life-course” approach, observing how work patterns affect health throughout adulthood instead of one point in time.

And past research has found that refraining from eating late at night counteracts the negative effects of shift work on health, he added.
