APPROPRIATE LIFESTYLES FOR LONGEVITY – SCIENTICIALLY VERIFIED 

​In line with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Veterans Affairs Million Veteran Program (MVP) a meta-analysis has been carried out. With scientific support of Carle Illinois College of Medicine in Urbana, IL.
 
Covering more than 1 million members in age bracket 40-99. To indicate if – and which – lifestyle factors play a decisive role in terms of longevity.
 
With special reference to following lifestyle factors – additional to those 2 basics health and longevity requires:

• healthy diet

           &

• physical activity

as you have learned already in our previous medical elaborations.
 
These additional factors are basically, inter alia,

• non-smoking
• stress management
• good social relationships
• sound sleep
• no opioid addiction
• avoiding excessive alcohol intake regularly

 
With the result that both genders – men and women alike – with 40 years of age extended their longevity by almost a quarter century, i.e. close to 25 years. If they followed lifestyle factors mentioned above.  

Vice-versa, those you disregarded these favorite lifestyle factors raised risk of premature death by 30-45%.
Especially in cases where physical activity, non-smoking and opioid disregard have not been appreciated.
 
But even those who appreciated most lifestyle factors mentioned but ignored healthy diet and sound sleep raised risk of premature death by 20-30%. And those missing just social contacts had risk of premature death raised by 5%.
 
Similar the result in cases where depression plays a role, thus raising risk of premature death by 8%.
 
This is in scientific line with T.H. Chan School of Public Health, rounding up the above mentioned lifestyly pattern with healthy body weight. Adding more than a decade in terms of life extension. With keeping up in terms of personal wellbeing generally.
 
Benefitting also if you start with adjustment of lifestyle factors not already with 40 but with 60 years of age. Scientifically verified also by Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
