Swedish researchers invite older people to think about their habits and give up addictions. According to the British Medical Journal, if you make it to 75, a person increases life expectancy by 5-6 years..

This conclusion is based on an experiment that involved 1,800 elderly people aged 75 and over.. Scientists have been watching them for 18 years. Many volunteers died before the experiment was completed.. However, the part is still alive today.. Half of the participants crossed the 90-year mark.

It turned out that longevity is predetermined by several factors: gender (women live longer), level of education (high), leisure (active) and lifestyle - healthy.

Moreover, even if the participants switched to it already after 75, apparently inspired by the experiment, this also gave a good result.. The best indicators were noted in non-smokers, as well as in those who regularly went in for swimming and gymnastics..
