This is consistent with research results reported recently by Paola Sebastiani of the Boston University School of Public Health:
In pursuit of a long life, expect the dismal prescriptions of clean living: exercise, moderation and a healthy diet. Indeed, such choices may help people exceed average lifespans by up to a decade. But when it comes to the oldest of the old, new research emphasises the biological rather than environmental factors behind longevity, suggesting that distinct genetic characteristics animate most centenarians.So, remember, for a long life, choose your parents carefully!
