Alexander Myasnikov told NSN that medication and a suitable lifestyle alone are not enough to get a long liver. Doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov said in an interview with NSN that only genetics can overcome the 100-year milestone, medicine helps only until the age of 90.
Ms. Elena Rzhevskaya, head doctor of the Kremlin clinic, said Russians can live up to 120 years old. According to her, to do this, you need to eat well, monitor your health, go to the doctor and know your genetic abilities. RIA Novosti reports this. Myasnikov makes it clear that not everyone can do this.
“Actually, the answer is yes and no. To do this, you need to win the genetic lottery. This is the most important thing. We know that people who eat right, take care of their health, go to the doctor and do not smoke – they actually live to be 90 years old. But if we ask people who live over 100 years old, they all smoke, have a belly and drink a little. Because this is already pure genetics. We know from research that people who have a father and a mother living to 100 years old has a 17 times higher chance of living to 100 years old than people who do not have such parents. So, if you have the card to live to 70 years old, you can live to 90 years old. But 100 years old or more is God and genetics,” he responded.
Previously, geriatrician Yury Konev explained to NSN who can live to the age of 120.
