Men's short
You, the men who feel short stature, don't get discouraged!. A study reveals the man his body is short, less than 157 cm mentioned would live longer than the higher his posture of 162 cm.Such research results are published in the journal PLoS One. Researchers analyze the data and associate among the body of short and long age in men Japan. Researchers believe that the length of age depending on the longevity gene.
"We divide into two groups. They are the height of 152 cm and a shorter, and 162 cm and higher, "said Dr. Bradley Willcox, one of the researchers and a professor at the John a. Burns School of medicine's Department of Geriatric Medicine, University of Hawaii, as reported by Medicaldaily, Monday (12/5/2006).
Researchers find gene FOXO3, inhibit the growth of in the beginning so the smaller body size. Longevity genes given so a longer lifespan. Shorter and they tend to have less blood insulin levels are high or developing cancer.
FOXO3 gene found in 2010 by researcher University of Germany, Christian University, which is found in people who have a gene that his life more than 100 years.
Each person has a gene, but the variant gene becomes important when talking about the age. The researchers concluded the gene plays an important role in the maintenance of stem cells or immune system.
"People who (152cm) and the shorter the longest of his age. This range look at the height of 162 cm. The higher you are, the shorter your age, "said Dr. Willcox.
According to Dr. Willcox, the first time this research shows the body ukurna-related genes.
Researchers observed 8.006 Americans descendants of Japan who was born between 1900 and 1919. The man was followed for 50 years. About 1,200 age 90 and 100 years old and nearly 250 were still alive at this time.
Dr. Willcox noted in the study that the body cannot always guarantee age shorter and largely depends on the individual's health and lifestyle.
