Scientists have found a way to predict in advance the lifespan and time of death, as was revealed at the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) in San Diego. Researchers from the United States were able to identify the genome regions responsible for the length of human life, Eurekalert reported this!.

American scientists were able to develop a technique that allows you to accurately determine the upcoming human lifespan. To judge the propensity for longevity, experts suggest genes.

Scientists analyzed the genetic data of 500 thousand people collected during the UK Biobank study. As a result, researchers identified genome regions associated with the magnitude of life and the probability of age-related diseases.. They identified 21 new sites.

According to scientific experts, about 10 percent of people are carriers of genes that can make them long-lived. According to scientists, owners of such genetic variations have every chance to live an average of five years longer than the rest.

In addition, biologists have reminded that science has already identified associations between genes and longevity, including the APOE gene associated with the risk of Alzheimer's disease..
