Topic: What factors affect life expectancy? (Read 494 times)

The world we live in today, I believe, is the primary cause of lower life expectancy. People lived up to 500 years centuries ago and were still fully healthy and active for farm labour and other recreational activities. But everything has changed today, and the environment we live in is no longer natural, but artificial. Many modern developments have forced the green environment to flee, and all of this is hurting the natural habitat environment. This has lead to a shorter life span and has had an impact on our earth, animals, and humans. We may be unable to live without these inventions because we were born with them, but it is now expected that we will not have a longer life expectancy.

We all have mentioned good and similar point in different perspective, I see Health as one of very important factor that affect life expectancy!. Most people neglected health education, we eat without considering health, the food we eat is not also consider, more than half of the poor and uneducated Africans do not consider balance diet in what they ate. They only feel they are hungry and they found something to put in their stomach, some always eat what they feel like eating only without considering the balance nutrition of the food to their body system. This ignorance make many not to aquire good health system and some Fall sick or affected with different such diseases which might damage their system and healthy condition. This is another thing that result death to many who are not taking caution about their health. Other to look out are:

How many prevent themselves from any caution like,

* Using seat belt
* Mindful of balance diet
* Use of helmet
* Read and obey health guide and instructions
* Obeying traffic regulations in driving and speed limit
* Personal hygiene on our body, houses, toilet, kitchen and our surrounding.e.t.c

But what about epigenetic markers, that control which genes become active? Who or what controls the epigenetics? - Epigenetics and the influence of our genes | Courtney Griffins | TEDxOU - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTBg6hqeuTg.



There you go, posting stuff that is based in your imagination and wishful thinking. All you have to do is watch this Tucker report, with Col. Douglas Macgregor - http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/349011-2023-08-23-ep-18-into-the-abyss-colonel-douglas-macgregor-tells-us.htm. And Scott Ritter (retired US military) tells us similar.

The point is that I am not there, right in the middle of it all. Are you? Can you actually see men dying on both sides? If you have to believe what others tell you, how do you know they are not lying to you? If you get it from the major media news reports, simply compare the mistaken news reports from the beginning of the war to what they are saying today. You can see that they don't know what they are talking about.

Come on. Let us know where you get your info, other than out of your "imagination and wishful thinking."

And this is based in your imagination and wishful thinking. Ruzzian soldiers have died is such a large numbers that have managed to go from a general offensive and costly advances to a precariously sustained front that is currently at serious risk of collapse in several areas near Zaporilla.

But... if we speak about Ruzzia, even before the war, you will observe decades of population decline in a country that has pretty much limitless territory. This is a tell sign of  mismanagement and people fleeing in every direction. You should try think about it before posting silly.

The term "longevity" is sometimes used as a synonym for "life expectancy" - however, the term "longevity" is sometimes meant to refer only to, especially long-lived members of a population, whereas "life expectancy" is always defined statistically as the average number of years remaining at a given age.

Life expectancy at birth has risen rapidly during the last century due to many factors, including reductions in infant mortality, rising living standards, improved lifestyles and better education, as well as advances in healthcare and medicine.


Economic development and the improvement in some environmental conditions (for example in many urban areas), improved lifestyles, advances in healthcare and medicine, including reduced infant mortality, have resulted in a continuous increase in life expectancy at birth during the last century.


Significant factors in life expectancy include gender, genetics, access to health care, hygiene, diet and nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, and crime rates. Evidence-based studies indicate that longevity is based on two major factors, genetics, and lifestyle choices.

Twin studies have estimated that approximately 20-30% of an individual's lifespan is related to genetics, the rest is due to individual behaviors and environmental factors which can be modified. In addition, it found that lifestyle plays almost no factor in health and longevity after the age of 80, and that almost everything in advanced age is due to genetic factors.

What factors affect life expectancy?


One of the biggest factors if you are a soldier in Russia or Ukraine is, being a soldier in Russia gives you a far longer life expectancy than if you are a soldier in Ukraine.

Speaking of this, we go to factor number 1: ridiculous amounts of cash. I am saying this because the new gene therapies are so personalised and so difficult to make that we may be speaking of $ 1 Million a pop. Yes, that is a million dollars a treatment, and no, sorry, unless you are one of the chosen ones your insurance do not cover anything like it.

What most people don't realize is that Jesus isn't exactly here. He hasn't been seen on earth since His ascension.

Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to take His place while He is gone. The Revelation says that The Holy Spirit is a seven-fold Spirit. One of those seven has always been here since the Beginning. That fold of the Spirit is the One Who gradually heals us from diseases. He's the One who slowly makes a scab on a cut, so that it heals. He acts in all things to heal them. But He acts slowly.

The Holy Spirit fold that Jesus sent at the Pentecost, is available to all people who have enough faith. He is the One Who works whatever miracles that are done while Jesus is gone.

We need the right kinds of bacteria in the world as it is.

The surest way to increase our life expectancy is to fill ourselves on the Word of God all the time, more and more. Then, using what we have learned by filling ourselves, we need to focus on the words that grow our faith. Jesus said, when His disciples asked Him to increase their faith, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you" - https://www.biblehub.com/niv/luke/17.htm.

Yeah, he said we should reference his name above every other name and that he is able to come to our rescue at all times, including when we are sick that he is the greatest healer. His desire for us is for good and not for evil. Therefore, we should feed subdue our world and harness all that will make us feel better in our life.

Life and healthy life and be free from bacteria   That is the surest way to increase our life expectancy, don't feed on toxic and poor nutrition.

Probably the biggest thing that affects life expectancy is, Jesus fills the whole universe. He wants us to use the things of the universe to live healthy lives. So, accepting Him is part of using-the-things-of-the--universe, because He is aware of everything and everybody.

The rate at which harmful substances have been exposed to the environment due to industrialization is also a key factor to consider because it has a significant effect on the life span of humans. The type of food, water, and improper medical treatment are also factors that may reduce life span; poverty is also a factor because lack of proper maintenance and proper food intake due to a lack of money also causes sudden death.

Factors such as genetic makeup, the ability to reach medical services, and the regulations established by governing bodies collectively impact a person's life duration. While these elements hold significance, individual variations and random occurrences also play a role in causing deviations in the anticipated lifespan.

if talking in the old days there was no fast food, snacks and so on, they immediately processed natural products for consumption with makeshift spices without a mixture of chemicals which did not exist at that time so this could encourage them to live healthy by eating nutritious food.

while for now almost every food we consume at this time all contain preservatives so that these foods can last a long time. and includes processed food even though it is not free from a mixture of chemicals.

This practicality causes people to ignore their health and prefer fast food for their consumption for reasons of time efficiency and portability. We see for ourselves how most parents in caring for their children prefer to buy snacks, candies, canned food and drinks for their children to consume compared to making their own preparations.

By making our own preparations at home, it will be easy for us to avoid harmful substances for consumption, because this greatly affects health.

What we know is the common problem why people are not like the old times when they often live up to 90+ years old is the food that we are consuming nowadays because it has lots of chemicals that are not healthy anymore also the common disease nowadays are diabetes and the likes of it. Also, we have some drugs that are not available in the old times, which is one of the major problems why the majority of people are not living a long life nowadays. Therefore if people ponder upon this problem and focus on changing the way they are right now, it could be changed, but education should be provided as well and also nutritional education too.

What affects life expectancy is what we eat, the Asia has a high level of life expectancy and that's because what they eat is different from what the rest of the world eat. I watch some Asia clips online and what they want will be considered unhealthy in the rest part of the world.

Meanwhile those foodstuffs are what connect them more to earth than the rest part of the world. Asians are known for eating more of fresh food but the rest part of the world are brainwashing to thinking that canned food are better than fresh food.

An example is when people cooking prefer to use tomato paste that has been processed instead of using fresh tomatoes. Processed food are poisonous but the government won't stop them because they're contributing to their government through taxed revenues.

Food processing industry are shutting anybody campaign against them. If we want to increase our life expectancy, we have to be watchful of what we eat first before considering other factors that aren't under our control like pollution, bad government and technical development to help enhanced life.

Life expectancy can be influenced by various factors such as genetics, lifestyle choices, access to healthcare, socioeconomic status, education level, environmental conditions & cultural practices. Genetics plays a role in determining predispositions to certain diseases whilst lifestyle choices like diet, exercise, smoking potential drug use & alcohol consumption can greatly impact overall health.

Access to quality healthcare services including preventive care and timely treatment can significantly affect life expectancy. Socioeconomic status, education & environmental factors such as pollution and safety also contribute to differences in life expectancy across populations.

Bad leadership, this has ruined so many potential in the country, people hope on the Government to make things easy and work for them, but bad leaders make  policy that's inimical to the people progress.

War. When there's dispute and war outbreak it's affect all plans and expectations, everyone will only think of survival without thinking of the plan.

Hence, we must prepare for anything in this world and we must never expect much, let's all do our best.

^^^ Thank you Xinarae*.

However there don't seem to be any 300-year-olds who are living in good health. We don't know for sure, because if I were healthy and 300, I sure wouldn't be broadcasting it.

The point is that all the 'nutritional' living, and 'good' living that we know about... it all isn't enough. It seems that everybody dies. Soooo, why are we here?

We have each been granted the amount of life that we have so that we can find out about Jesus-salvation, and accept it and live in great health and joy, with God, forever, in the next life. Or we can reject Jesus-salvation, and live without God, in the next life.

Living without Jesus-salvation, and without God in the next life is living forever, as well. There is a trick to understand why the life without God will be forever. It has to do with the great power of God that He used when He made Jesus-salvation. People don't insult the Almighty God by rejecting Jesus-salvation, and then get away with a simple once-and-for-all destruction.

I agreed @BADecker opinion.

I think there are many kinds of problems in human life, the biggest problem in human life is that various diseases in human life make people's life narrow, because the diseases also involve many problems in human life due to which human life expectancy is reduced a lot. In some cases, researchers say that people should be physically and mentally healthy in life, people should exercise and eat nutritious food, then it is possible to increase the life of people, although I think this is not completely correct.

What planet are you from? It's your world, too, isn't it?


Now, I see a little about you. You can't even read and comprehend, it seems.


Show me where a question has anything to do with life expectancy. If you can, I will show you how people who follow insurance company rules have actually changed their life expectancy.



Actually, I haven't been eating enough ruminant meat. And people who do would be a lot healthier if they ate it raw, but didn't eat any of the blood. Everybody knows that cooking destroys nutrients.

If English is a second language for you, it's understandable that you wouldn't understand English writing all the time.
