The long-lived old man looks mysterious and elusive. Studies have found that some people who smoke and exercise less can still live to be 100 years old. What are their similarities? The “healthy life” channel of MSN website in the United States summarized 10 Amazing signs of longevity.
1. There are many long-lived people in the family a survey called “New England centenary study” by Boston University School of Medicine found that in the families of half centenarians, there were parents, siblings or grandparents who lived over 90 years old. Research points out that the life span is most affected by the lineal blood relationship, and the life span of siblings and parents has more influence on you than that of cousins.
2. Walk fast and far researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in the United States conducted a study on 35000 elderly people over 65. They found that if the walking speed increased by 0.1 meters per second, the risk of death would decrease by 12%. According to the 2006 report of the Journal of the American Medical Association, among the elderly aged 70 to 79, those who can’t walk 400 meters may have a life expectancy of less than six years, and they also have a greater chance of disability.
3. Social life is very rich American psychology professor Leslie Martin said that women with religious beliefs live longer because religion promotes their social life. He said that people who have close social activities with family, friends and colleagues can also live longer.
4. Women live longer than men in 2010, 85% of the 80000 centenarians in the United States were women. Scientists speculate that the lower risk of heart disease in women, the higher smoking rate and the higher accident rate in men may be the factors contributing to this phenomenon. However, the good news is that male centenarians are generally healthier than female centenarians, and they are less likely to be disabled.
children born after the age of 5.35 the New England centenary study found that women who give birth after 40 are four times more likely to live to be 100 than other women. Those who give birth naturally after the age of 35 will also live longer. Scientists believe that late childbirth may indicate that the reproductive system is aging slowly, and the rest of the body may be similar.
