how do you want to die? At a hundred years old, in perfect health and suddenly, sure. Who doesn’t?
Brazilians are living longer and longer. But many people continue to die before their time. And many people are getting older but are suffering a lot with their health, before their time comes.
“Europe got rich and then got old. Brazil is a country that will grow old before it gets rich”, explains Carolina da Costa to the newspaper “Valor Econômico”. Her position says it all: executive director for education, research, innovation and digital health at Oswaldo Cruz, a referral hospital in São Paulo.
Oswaldo Cruz participated in a gigantic longevity study, with 25,000 individuals and thirty countries, including Brazil. It was possible to identify exactly what are the main factors that will affect our longevity. Including the disease that kills the most in Brazil and which, fortunately, is easy to fight.

Part of living long (and well) is basically up to you. And another part – perhaps even more challenging – depends on all of us, as I explain in this video.
