Scientists The secret of super longevity has been solved (3 photos)

We all remember this beautiful legend that if you don't drink, don't smoke, lead a healthy lifestyle, walk every day and don't get stressed at work, then you will definitely live to 100 years old, or even longer.





In theory, this is true, but persistent scientists decided to find that very ideal formula that is guaranteed to give the opportunity to get into the ranks of these very super-long-livers. In 2019, they conducted a large-scale study and came to some not very clear conclusions.

A strange pattern has emerged, that after any state starts to properly register citizens (birth/death certificates), the number of super-centenarians rapidly decreases. What insidious papers!

But the remaining super-centenarians have also thrown up a lot of questions for scientists. For example, how is it that most of them are found in far from the most favorable areas with a high crime rate. And almost all the ancient grannies and grandpas smoked and did not disdain strong alcoholic drinks.



For several years, scientists have been struggling to solve this "philosopher's" stone and trying to deduce a pattern: wash less often + drink + smoke = longevity.

Another interesting factor was that almost all supercentenarians did not bother themselves with learning to read and write or trying to build any kind of career.

They thought about this for a long time, analyzed it. How is it that in Italy, for example, people who lived more than 100 years are concentrated in the most remote provinces and why their descendants die like flies under similar conditions. Approximately the same situation was in the USA. It's impossible to explain it biologically, but it's all perfectly explainable from a financial point of view.



Statistics of centenarians in the USA

Let's say that in one mountain village there lives a very old grandfather, the grandfather has a very good pension, and then the grandfather just goes and dies. Consequently, the family income is rapidly falling. And a logical solution arises: don't show the grandfather to the postman. And everything goes like clockwork until the moment when the venerable old man needs to be presented at an anniversary for a local TV channel. But with the proper ingenuity, you can get out of this too.

The same situation exists in Japan, which is famous for its high-quality universal registration system. An investigation into records from 2010 found that 238,000 centenarians had simply died or gone missing.

The biggest secret to super longevity is sometimes clever document forgery.
