Parents’ Lifespan Can Predict Heart Disease Risk In Children, Study Suggests
People whose parents have lived long are likely to have fewer heart diseases and stay healthy in their sixties and seventies, according to a British study involving nearly 190,000 participants.
The study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, also suggested that knowing the age when parents died may help predict the risk of heart disease and related conditions in their children. Furthermore, children of long-lived parents had lower risk of cancer.
