4. Who Lives Longer?
How to live longer is a topic that has fascinated mankind for centuries. Today, scientists are beginning to separate the facts from the fallacies surrounding the aging process. Why is it that some people reach a ripe old age and others do not? Several factors influencing longevity are set at birth, but surprisingly, many others are elements that can be changed, Here is what you should know.
오래살기 위해서 어떻게 해야 하는가는 세기의 인류에게 매력적인 주제이다. 오늘날, 과학자들은 노화과정을 둘러싼 잘못된 생각으로부터 사실을 구별하기 시작했다. 왜 몇몇의 사람들은 고령에 도달하고 다른 사람들은 도달하지 못하는가? 장수에 영향을 미치는 몇몇의 요소들은 출생이다, 그러나 놀랍게도, 많은 다른 요소들은 바뀐다, 여기 당신이 알아야 할 것이 있다.
Some researchers divide the elements determining who will live longer into two categories: fixed factors and changeable factors. Gender, race and heredity are fixed factors-they can`t be reversed, although certain long-term social changes can influence them.
몇몇 조사자들은 결정하는 요소(두개의 범주에서 누가 더 오래사는지: 고정적 요소들과 변하는 요소들)들을 나눈다. 성, 생애, 유전은 고정적 요소들이다-그들은 뒤집혀 질수 없다- 비록 어느정도의 장기간의 사회적 변화가 그들에 영향을 미치더라도.
For example, women live longer than men at birth, their life expectancy is about seven to eight years more. However, cigarette smoking, drinking and reckless driving could shorten this advantage.
There is increasing evidence that length of life is also influenced by a number of elements that are within your ability to control. The most obvious are physical lifestyle factors.
