Increased life expectancy
With the rapid development of the economy, people’s life quality has become better. Compared with the past, life expectancy is linear growth now. Take Japan as an example, men are 67.74 years and females are 72.92 years in 1965, but in 1995 average life expectancy of men was 76.57 and for women it was 82.98 years.
According to some organizations it is predicted that the growth of the human life expectancy will increase 0.86 years per decade between 2000-2080. This includes male and female life expectancy.
However, what causes lead to the life expectancy increasing? In addition to improved quality of life, what other factors play an important role in life expectancy increasing?
Obviously, now people are increasingly concerned about their health care issues. So a large number of people keep healthy by doing some exercise. In the morning, many old people are running and swimming. Meanwhile, in order to prevent disease early people go to the hospital for regular physical check-ups.
Recently, technology is developing rapidly. Especially the development of medical technology, some diseases can be cured and vaccines of preventable diseases are being invented. For example, vaccines are being made for epidemics and hepatitis.
Research reveals that genetics also influence life expectancy. Generally speaking, parents who live long also have children who have live long. German scientists found that after investigating people who are older than 100 years, their parents’ average age was longer than the average population by 9 to 10 years.
To sum up, the world health organization has declared that life expectancy increases of everyone is affected by these factors, 70% depending on themselves, 15% depending on genetic factors, and 15% depending on medical conditions. And the important point is doing exercise and keeping an optimistic attitude. JI YINING
