People with higher education pass more slowly, scientists 18:16

People with higher income and education are elderly, and they are less than age-related diseases than their peers with less socio-economic status. This conclusion was reached by scientists from London University College. Published in İş Magazine Nature Medical (NM).

The study used data from four large long -term projects, including more than 800,000 participants. Social well level was estimated with several indicators: education level, social status of parents, income level, work position and well degree in residence. The aging process was evaluated with the composition of proteins in the blood plasma.

In people with low socio-economic status, scientists have found that the likelihood of developing diseases are 20% higher than more wealthy peers. After 15 years, the representatives of a group with low status, as in people with high status after 20 years, the number of diagnoses associated with aging – that is, the aging occurs faster in more adverse conditions.

“This study offers good evidence that social conditions really affect the aging rate of aging, Prof. “We know that a higher social status has been better related to health, but now we see that this can slow down the aging process.”

For some diseases, this risk was even higher. For example, in humans of a low -income group, the risk of developing diabetes in 2nd type of diabetes, liver diseases, cardiovascular diseases, lung cancer and stroke were twice as high as a group with high social status.

The 14 protein levels in the blood were directly dependent on the social state of a person. Scientists suggest that these proteins can be explained by the appropriate profile up to 39% of reducing the risk of disease in people with high social status.

“Things are reflected in blood proteins,” said Tony Vis Korea of ​​Stanford University. “These biomathers allow you to evaluate how social differences affect the rate of aging.”

Researchers also found that social status developing with age has a positive effect on the aging process. In people who lived in adverse conditions in childhood, but later earned a high income and status, the protein profile in the blood was more suitable than those whose social conditions were unchanged.

The definitive mechanisms that connect social status and aging have not yet been fully examined. Professor Linda Partridge argues that this may be related to factors such as stress, mental health, the effects of toxins and pollution and lifestyle – physical activity, diet, smoking and alcohol use. An important role is played by access to medical services: preventive examinations, vaccination and timely treatment.
