Beautiful People Live Longer Than Ugly People: The Difference Is Significant – Scientists Conclude
Scientists have challenged the assertion that health is more important than beauty.
It turns out that these things are interconnected. Beautiful people live longer, say American researchers.
A person's appearance influences many areas, according to a scientific paper for the journal Social Science & Medicine .
Beautiful people earn more, have a good education and everything is good in their personal lives.
An attractive appearance helps a person achieve success and makes them feel more confident. They have higher life satisfaction and fewer reasons to worry and stress.
Thanks to this, they are less likely to encounter illnesses that lead to premature death.
Scientists followed the lives of 8,386 people who graduated from high school in 1957. They assessed their appearance and collected various data with their help.
Now the researchers have summed up some results and can say that beautiful people live on average 16.8% longer than those with an average appearance.
But scientists note that this issue needs to be studied in more detail. For example, to study in detail the health risks that beautiful people face more.
