Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet lớn indicate the correct answer lớn each of the questions.
There are already many, many people who have passed the landmark age of 100. In fact, there are now ví many healthy, elderly people that there's a new term for them: the wellderly. These are people over the age of 80 who have no diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes and have never taken medicines for these conditions.
There have been many scientific studies of communities where a healthy old age is typical. These include places lượt thích Calabria in southern Italy and the island of Okinawa in nhật bản.
The small village of Molochio in Calabria has about 2,000 inhabitants. And of these there are at least eight centenarians. When researchers ask people lượt thích this the secret of their long life, the answer is almost always lớn bởi with diet and is almost always the same: 'I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables.' 'A little bit, but of everything.’ ‘No smoking, no drinking.’
While in the past scientists have looked at things such as diet and lifestyle for an explanation of long life, these days they are investigating genetics. One such researcher is Eric Topol, who says, "There must be genes that explain why these individuals are protected from the aging process."
The new research into long life looks at groups of people who have a genetic connection. For example, one group of interest lives in Ecuador. In one area of the country there are a number of people with the same genetic condition. It's called Laron syndrome. The condition means that they don't grow lớn more than thở about one, but it also seems lớn give them protection against cancer and diabetes. As a result, they live longer than thở other people in their families. Meanwhile, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, there's another group of long-lived men, Japanese-Americans. They have a similar ren lớn the Laron syndrome group.
Back in Calabria, scientists are trying lớn work out exactly how much of the longevity is due lớn genetics and how much lớn environment. By checking public records going back lớn the 19th century, researchers have reconstructed the family trees of 202 nonagenarians and centenarians. They concluded that there were genetic factors involved.
Câu 31: Diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure ____.
