How Well Do You Cope: New Study Reveals Surprising Key to Longevity in Older Men
A Boston University study reveals that the effort older men invest in coping with stressors is more crucial to their longevity than the strategies used,…
Longevity refers to the duration of an individual’s life and is often used more broadly to discuss the factors that contribute to a long life. Biological, environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors all play roles in determining longevity. Advances in medicine, improved nutrition, and higher standards of living have generally increased the average lifespan in many parts of the world. Research in longevity focuses on various aspects such as the role of genetics in aging, the impact of chronic diseases, and the effectiveness of anti-aging interventions. There is also significant interest in studying populations known as “Blue Zones” where people live significantly longer than average, often in good health. These studies often reveal common factors among long-lived individuals, including a healthy diet, regular physical activity, strong social bonds, and a sense of purpose. Understanding the mechanisms of aging and factors promoting longevity is crucial for developing strategies to improve health span, the period of life spent in good health, rather than merely extending lifespan.
