The four key requirements for a long life have been revealed by scientists, regardless if you have bad genes.
A new study has found evidence to suggest that living a healthy lifestyle can make up for poor genetics by over 60 per cent. Even if you have been dealt a bad genetic hand, raising the risk of certain disease and conditions, living by four rules can help extend your lifespan.
These four guidelines include following a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol, following proper sleeping patterns and staying away from smoking. In contrast, those born with strong genes can undo the good work with a bad lifestyle, which raises the risk of early death by a staggering 78 per cent.
Researchers determined that a genetic risk of a shorter lifespan or premature death might be offset by a favourable lifestyle by around 62 per cent. Put simply, this means that those at high genetic risk of a shortened lifespan could extend this by nearly five and a half years at the age of 40 by living healthily.
Writing in the journal BMJ Evidence Based Medicine, scientists from the Department of Big Data in Health Science at the Zhejiang University School of Medicine in China studied more than 350,000 people from the UK Biobank.
They used a polygenic risk score (PRS) which combines multiple genetic variants to arrive at a person’s overall genetic predisposition to a longer or shorter lifespan. They set out to clear up the extent to which a healthy lifestyle might offset genetic predisposition to a shortened lifespan.
Researchers looked at 353,742 adults recruited to the UK Biobank between 2006 and 2010, and whose health was tracked up until 2021. A polygenic risk score was derived for long (20 per cent of participants), intermediate (60 per cent), and short
