Scientists revealed the main factor affecting the life expectancy. It is reported by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Researchers for 20 years studied a closed population of short-lived wild sheep in Scotland. They analyzed the relationship between the telomer length (terminal areas of chromosomes), their safety and life expectancy and came to the conclusion that longevity correlates with a telomere length and is not associated with the degree of their depletion.
In this way, scientists note, the lifetime is more affected by genetic predisposition, rather than external factors, such as stress or nutrition.
