Some key decisions are not individual, they are collective, social. Here are five key factors to living longer
Science advances very fast and studies appear for everything. And it’s good that it is. But sometimes scientists overcomplicate things, and the solutions are simpler than they appear. When it comes to longevity studies, it’s literally a matter of life and death.
Recently, I read reports on three studies that caught my attention due to the simplicity of their solutions. One comes from the Oswaldo Cruz hospital in São Paulo. They participated in a large international study that identified some of the most relevant factors for people’s longevity, across 30 countries, including Brazil.
The other two studies come from the Hospital das Clínicas and the Sírio Libanês hospital, also from São Paulo and also a national reference.
What is interesting is that these three studies are different and complement each other. Each of them has a slightly different approach. We have an approach more from the point of view of the environment, where we are, where we walk, what air we breathe. Another looks more at the elderly who arrive in the emergency room: how do these people arrive, what do they say?
Doctor Pedro Curiati, head of research in the Syrian Lebanese, said something very interesting in an interview with the newspaper “Valor”. For him, the most effective measures to increase longevity are basically behavioral. They basically depend on the decisions we make in our daily life.

Now what is important is that some of these key decisions are not individual. These are collective and social decisions and I explain five key factors to make you live longer in this video.
