Taking into account the advanced age of centenarians for the successful completion of the entire research process, the researchers did not directly study of centenarians, but the next best thing, tracking survey of 246 children of centenarians. Their average age up to 75 years old.



Pearl charge of the investigation by Dr. Thomas said the study showed children of the elderly live longer than the average person more outgoing personality, "they are generally more sociable, easy to build friendship, the friendship as a 'safe social network'." Easy to see that more women live longer resonate with others, be good at working with people, so once they are in trouble, you can get multi-party support.



Poer Si said the study showed longevity of men and women in a slightly different character. Women are more approachable, but not men in this area attractions. However, the extent they are open-minded and conscientious comparable extent.



"If a person pleasant personality, the more GUANG friends, it will take care of themselves," says Poer Si, and therefore more likely to weather the storm.



　Less pressure on nerves strong

The study also found that longevity is not only socially superior people, their spiritual and more relaxed, which makes them better able to withstand pressure.



The results show that the neural sensitivity of male and female longevity was weaker than ordinary people. Poer Si that such qualities that make them more calm when under pressure.



He said studies have shown that stress can increase the risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease, so "If people are not so sensitive when dealing with stress more effectively than the sensitive person."



Interestingly, some traditional concepts on longevity favorable characteristics, such as self-discipline and open-minded and so on, not reflected in the study. In fact, many "old fogy" stick to their philosophy of life is still long.



Poer Si summary results of the study, said: "The more social and less conducive to healthy tension. The study also shows that when we analyze the genetic factors affect the longevity of the internal and external environmental factors, personality factors can not be ignored."



Change the character and more travel

Although the character of life is so important, whether the change but the character is enduring topic of debate in psychology has not been determined.



Another study showed that children of mothers not about whether the longevity of their character may have an impact. The researchers surveyed nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers, found that if the mother character, anxiety, depression, bad temper, they tend to let the children eat a lot of chocolate, carbonated drinks and pizza and other unhealthy foods. As people age it is difficult to get rid of even childhood eating habits develop, so they are more likely short-lived.



But Poer Si pointed out that those who are neither bright nor good at dealing with stress are not discouraged, because small changes can make a little extension of life.



He said that people can increase the travel, so they will automatically get acquainted "tour of Friends", and then slowly try to become cheerful. Also, "If you are not born able to compression, then find a way to extract the ... ... maybe exercise or spend more time with his family will be able to work."
