LONGEVITY FACTORS
Genetic and Environmental Influence
While genetics play a role in determining life expectancy, environmental factors and lifestyle choices are just as important. Studies show that adopting healthier habits, such as staying active and maintaining a nutritious diet, can offset many genetic predispositions. Environmental factors like access to clean air, healthy food, and healthcare are critical to longevity.
