Research on longevity and health factors

Overview

Scientific research and medical expertise have highlighted various factors contributing to increased lifespan. A study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology tracked healthy men over an average of 40 years, identifying five midlife cardiovascular risk factors correlated with reaching age 90: non-smoking, a Body Mass Index below 25 kg/m², systolic blood pressure under 140 mmHg, total cholesterol below 6.0 mmol/L, and blood glucose below 9.0 mmol/L.

Complementing these clinical findings, medical professional Jorge Tartaglione identified five global regions associated with higher longevity, emphasizing lifestyle over genetics. He noted that while genetics account for approximately 25 percent of lifespan, individual choices define the remaining 75 percent. These regions include Loma Linda, California, Costa Rica, Icaria, Greece, Sardinia, Italy, and Okinawa, Japan, with contributing factors such as religious faith, diet, physical activity, and a sense of purpose.
