It has been determined that how healthy you are when living a long life and becoming an elderly person is not only dependent on diet or genetic factors, but also your living environment plays a significant role. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The latest research results published in the journal Nature Medicine were presented by Science Focus. The study examined the health status of nearly 160,000 people living in 40 countries.
The conclusion is that your living environment can accelerate or slow down the aging process. People living in developed and ecologically, socially favorable countries tend to be healthier and live longer compared to others.
For example, Denmark is considered a leading country in this regard. In contrast, some regions in Africa, Asia, and South America show low rates of healthy aging.
The population of Egypt is among the fastest aging in the world, with their biological age being approximately 2.35 years older than their chronological age. Similar situations exist in South Africa and South America.
European countries, on the other hand, lead in natural and healthy aging. According to scientists, factors such as air quality, social equality, economic stability, the protection of women's rights, the opportunity to participate in elections, and political freedom have a significant impact on the aging process of individuals.
These factors not only extend lifespan but also improve quality of life. Additionally, rapidly aging individuals struggle more with daily tasks and their cognitive abilities decline faster.
This limits their quality of life and independence. Therefore, the role of living environment in human health and longevity has been further proven to be very important.
The living environment is not just a place of residence, but a key factor for healthy aging and an active life.
