根据一项新研究,遗传学占寿命差异的55%,比先前的估计数有显著增加。 Genetics account for 55% of lifespan differences, a major increase from prior estimates, according to a new study.

科学的一项新研究发现,遗传学对人类寿命的影响比以前想象的要大,占寿命变异的55%左右,从先前估计的10%上升到25%。 A new study in Science finds genetics influence human lifespan more than previously thought, accounting for about 55% of longevity variation, up from earlier estimates of 10% to 25%. 研究人员对来自丹麦、瑞典和美国的双胞胎和双胞胎数据进行了再分析,将死亡与内部老龄化过程和事故或感染等外部原因区分开来。 Researchers reanalyzed twin and sibling data from Denmark, Sweden, and the U.S., distinguishing deaths from internal aging processes versus external causes like accidents or infections. 由于现代医学导致外部死亡率下降,遗传因素变得更加明显。 As extrinsic mortality has declined due to modern medicine, genetic factors have become more apparent. 研究结果表明,遗传学在健康的老龄化方面起着重要作用,有可能加速基因疗法的研究,尽管生活方式选择对于长寿仍然很重要。 The findings suggest genetics play a major role in healthy aging, potentially accelerating research into gene-based therapies, though lifestyle choices remain important for longevity.
