Why do urban populations live so much longer than rural populations?

1. In terms of physical strength, the per capita life expectancy of the urban elderly group is higher than that of the rural elderly group.

The city old people can retire after 60 years old, take the high pension to dance square dance, or go out to travel, enjoy the sunset red. The most beautiful thing is the red sunset, which describes the lifestyle of the elderly in the city.

And for farmers, they still have to participate in labor after 60 years old, and if they don't farm, they can't eat at all. Many elderly people over the age of 60 have to continue to work to earn money to support their families. When they are old and cannot work, they can only go to the countryside to continue farming. There is no doubt that a rural pension of just over $100 is not enough to support oneself.

2. Economically speaking, the life expectancy of the urban elderly is higher than that of the rural elderly.

The urban elderly have high pensions, they do not worry about the economy, and their children are very filial because of the money. This makes these old people in a very good mood, there must be interests determine everything, so in this regard the family and all things are happy.

For the rural elderly, they do not have this piece of economic income, must labor every day, once there is no income of children are disgusted with them. This mood is very bad, so that the quality of life is very poor. We have all seen the book "The Story of the Wall", which is the most typical portrayal of the rural elderly in their old age.

3. In terms of medical conditions, the per capita life expectancy of the urban elderly group is higher than that of the rural elderly group.

The elderly in the city have medical insurance, and their insurance reimbursement is also high. Especially in terms of health care is very important, every year will check the body, once encountered minor illnesses timely prevention and treatment. What's more, the medical condition of the establishment is good, these old people will be treated in time once they have a problem.

For the rural elderly, in terms of medical conditions is very poor, especially some of the elderly economy is relatively weak, small illnesses rely on procrastination, dragged into a serious illness will not be treated, can only be at home waiting for death. So there are fewer people in the countryside who really live longer, and the life expectancy of this group is relatively short.

In fact, in real life, the rural areas over 80 years old is relatively small, although now China's life expectancy reached 77.6, women reached 80 years old. But go to the countryside to take a look, each village 80 years of age in the old man is relatively small, after all, now the old age disease is very common, a lot of people in the 80 years of age before basically left.

However, when you go to the city and look at the old people, you will see that they are only 60 or 70 years old on the surface, but the actual age is 80 or 90 years old. Because they have good living conditions, good medical conditions, and high economic conditions, which makes them moody and live very comfortably, so they do not show their age.

What is longevity related to?

In this regard there are really experts have studied, the main one, that is longevity genes. This is a prerequisite for determining longevity, and without the longevity genes in this area, it is impossible for a person to achieve the conditions for longevity.

On the other hand, longevity requires an open-minded mentality, not being able to be calculating, and not always angry, a person who is contented and happy. This is indeed the case on the one hand, because qi
