The Minister of Health shared his opinion on longevity with Russians.
According to the head of the department, at the genetic level, a person has the ability to live to 120 years.
Mikhail Murashko made this statement during a conversation with journalists, RIA Novosti reports.
The ability to survive a hundredth birthday is a genetic feature of the human body.
However, in order for the 100-year threshold to be possible, several conditions must be met.
Murashko recalled that 60% of the factors causing the emergence of various diseases are related to the lifestyle that a person leads.
Therefore, if you adhere to the rules of a healthy lifestyle, your chances of surviving your 100th birthday and reaching the venerable age of 120 years increase dramatically.
According to the head of the Ministry of Health, people need to be trained to develop healthy lifestyle attitudes and direct all their efforts towards prevention, rather than subsequent treatment of chronic diseases.
