New York: (RightNow) A new international scientific study reveals that children of individuals who live to 100 years or more have a reduced risk of serious diseases. The research, published in JAMA Network Open, analyzed data from over 2,300 individuals.

According to the study, the offspring of these centenarians have a 42% lower risk of death, a 33% lower risk of heart disease, and a 32% lower likelihood of high blood pressure.

Researchers also noted that high blood pressure issues appeared on average five years later, and the time of death was delayed by approximately three years in these individuals.

The study indicates that genetic traits, along with lifestyle and environment, play a significant role in longevity. Scientists suggest these factors can contribute to healthy aging.

It is important to note that the secret to longevity may not lie in a specific diet or habit alone but also in genetic and biological factors.
