What effect does low-rise residence have on health?

Living environment is an important factor that determines people's health and longevity. According to a survey of 6.5438+0.5 million people in Switzerland by many experts, the probability of premature death of people living above the eighth floor is 22% lower than that of people living on lower floors, among which the probability of death from lung disease is 40% lower and the probability of death from serious heart disease is 35% lower. Most of the deaths of people living in low-rise houses are related to lung and heart diseases.

Researchers believe that people living in high-rise buildings are more likely to go up and down stairs than those living in low-rise buildings, so they have more opportunities to exercise and stay away from heart disease. According to experts' research, "Climbing stairs can prolong life by 4 seconds". Climbing stairs is an effective fitness exercise without spending money. Climbing stairs at normal speed consumes 220 calories per 10 minute, which is four times better than walking. People living in low-rise houses may be more affected by air pollution and traffic noise, which is not good for health and life. The high-rise also makes up for the shortcomings of low-rise residential buildings, such as easy humidity and narrow vision; In addition, the current trend is that the higher the floor, the more expensive it is. People who prefer to be "on top" have a stronger desire to pursue the taste and quality of life, so they are more likely to care about their health. "High-rise buildings used to be annoying. It may isolate people from the social environment, lead to unhealthy habits and even increase the crime rate, but this situation has changed greatly in recent years. Because today's high-rise buildings are different from those in the sixties and seventies. At that time, the quality of such buildings was not high and the design was unreasonable. Nowadays, high-rise residential buildings are becoming more and more comfortable, and many of them are high-rise buildings located in prime locations. "
