By studying long-lived families, scientists have uncovered a rare genetic clue that may help explain why some people stay healthier and live longer than others.
Scientists are uncovering new clues about why some people remain healthy well into old age while others develop chronic illnesses much earlier. A new study suggests that looking at families with multiple long-lived members, rather than studying individuals alone, may reveal rare genetic changes that help extend healthspan, the years a person lives free from chronic disease and cognitive decline.
