Healthy lifestyle increases life expectancy, as confirmed by another research
A recent study published in the journal BMJ suggests that a healthy lifestyle can help seniors live longer, adding three years to life expectancy of women and six years to that of men. Besides, it can also help avoid dementia in these years. More than 6 million Americans ages 65 and older suffer from the most common form of dementia, Alzheimer's, for which there is no cure.
The research revealed that women with the healthiest lifestyles at age 65 had an average life expectancy of around 24 years. In comparison, women whose lifestyle was considered less healthy had 21 years. Meanwhile, life expectancy for men with the healthiest lifestyles was 23 years vs. 17 years for men who were less healthy.
