Your environment – including food choices, exercise habits and sun exposure – contributes the most when it comes to living to an average age. But it is your genes that determine how likely you are to live to an exceptional age.
Variants of a gene thought to be linked to longevity appear to influence aging into the 90s, but do not appear to affect exceptional longevity, or aging over 100, a new study has found.
The study is believed to be the first to examine marijuana usage patterns following legalization of recreational marijuana in Oregon and the first to examine the effects of any state’s legalization on college students.
