Centenarians Prioritize Family

Do family ties affect longevity?

Yes. Centenarians often live in multi-generational households and prioritize strong family bonds.

Explanation

Close family connections provide emotional support, reduce loneliness, and create a sense of purpose. Family caregiving structures also ensure practical help with daily needs, reducing stress and enhancing resilience.

Strong family support reduces risks of depression, improves mental health, and has been linked to lower mortality across cultures.

Practical Emphasis: Invest time in family relationships, both giving and receiving support, to strengthen health and happiness.

Takeaway (Action Tip)

Prioritize family connections as a core component of longevity.
