Lifestyle has the greatest influence on its duration

Life expectancy of your parents or grandparents are not guarantees of personal longevity: a factor in personal lifestyle plays a more important role in maintaining health for many years than genetics, according to Swedish researchers University of Gothenburg. Hereditary factors play a major role in determining the length of life, since life has a big impact, according to clinicians. Doctors refer to these long-term survey of almost 2 thousand men.

Observed that those who do not smoke, consume moderate doses of coffee and have a good socio-economic status at age 50, and has a good physical performance at the age of 54 years and has a low level of cholesterol in midlife, had the best chance to celebrate their 90 th anniversary. Our own lifestyle and habits lay the foundation for our longevity, which is not inherited automatically, convinced doctors.
