, five critical faculties were found to significantly boost life longevity and decrease one's risk of developing illnesses associated with aging.
"Previous studies have found that following a healthy lifestyle improves overall life expectancy and reduces risk of chronic diseases … but few studies have looked at the effects of lifestyle factors on life expectancy free from such diseases," the study's first author Yanping Li, a senior research scientist in the Chan School's Department of Nutrition,
released by T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The new study "provides strong evidence that following a healthy lifestyle can substantially extend the years a person lives disease-free."Over the last 30 years or so heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and various cerebrovascular illnesses have begun to increasingly surge premature mortality rates in the west.
Just like the analysis that preceded it, the new report's research was energized by 34 years worth of data derived from the 73,196 women and 28 years worth of data from the 38,366 men that were recruited in the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Study conducted between 1980 and 2014 and 1986 and 2014, respectively.
