Abstract in brief

  • Human longevity is influenced by a combination of genetic factors, which account for about 25% of lifespan variation, and lifestyle choices.
  • Research suggests that genes involved in cell maintenance and nutrient signaling play a key role in aging, and dietary habits such as calorie restriction can extend lifespan by enhancing cellular efficiency.
  • Epigenetic changes, which are affected by genetics and lifestyle, are sensitive indicators of aging and may either serve as biomarkers or actively influence how quickly and healthily we age, emphasizing the importance of interacting genetic and environmental factors.]

@Agoerre Tutt’altro. La genetica impatta per un valore pari al 20-30%. Secondo il Prof @NirBarzilaiMD addirittura il 90% è questione di stile di vita e ambiente. Invito a leggere https://t.co/ev57YYtxI7

Үхлийн 25% нь таны генээс хамаардаг бол 75% нь таны эрүүл амьдралын хэв маягаас шалтгаална. https://t.co/bvTacfCov4

@Manuela9679 @AurelianoStingi Il profilo genetico per il 20%-25% rispetto l’aspettativa di vita, fattore maggiormente rilevante negli over65 e meno in giovani adulti. I fattori ambientali sono determinanti per la qualità della vita vissuta. Interessante lettura: https://t.co/ev57YYtxI7

An article titled “Human Longevity: Genetics or Lifestyle? It Takes Two to Tango,” published in Immunity and Aging in 2016, found that a combination of genetic and non-genetic factors determines healthy aging and longevity in humans.

Did you know that abut 75 percent of longevity 9is the result of your own CHOICES (that includes foods you eat, stress, sleep, exercise, and exposure to toxins) rather than your genes? https://t.co/R3HqviJV1H. (2016). Learned from Dr. Don Colbert's Beyond Keto book
