Is there something wrong with this sentence?

Post by Soloymon »

Is this sentence wrong or odd in any way?

“Though we often hear that people are aging better in many respects and the age 60 is the new 50, there is a need for a wide scale research on people born in different decades so that it is possible to nail  down actual physical and mental differences in the ways we are aging.”

I picked this choice in an English exam (a "complete the sentence kind of question") but the answer key says it’s wrong and a friend of mine insists that we can’t use “though” in this context because there isn’t enough contrast.

(Not really a grammar question, but...) It looks perfectly OK to me!
