WHAT IS FAMILIAL LONGEVITY? HAVE you noticed how long your family members tend to live? Besides the chronic illnesses along their life journey, do they live well into their retirement years? If you answered yes to both questions, then you will be glad to know that you might also live as long as they do. Yes, according to the latest health research, Long Life Family Study (LLFS) recently broadened their findings in a paper published in Gerontology, suggesting that people who belong to long-lived families also show slower cognitive decline over time. This simply means that there’s a correlation between your family’s life expectancy and your own.
