How long will I live ?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

How long will I live ?

Post by Anchor Moy »

Good news at last ? Smoking, diet and exercise are of little importance in staying alive ?
Shame about the bright people theory though. %)
How long will I live? The answer may be in the genes.
Studies show that brighter people live longer – and the basis is largely genetic. Does this mean that DNA trumps factors such as smoking, diet and exercise?

...So what do we actually know about longevity? Who will live and who will die at a given age? Is it all in the genes or do the life choices we make trump any genetic advantage? And how do we make sense of a new study that confirms that bright people live longer and that the difference in intelligence is genetic and not related to upbringing?

im sure i saw a programme talking about this a few years ago, and they were talking about these jews (the brainy ones) they all drink and smoke and live to over 100, and it was due to their genes or something, cant remember all the details but this just sparked the memory of it
