Too smart, easy to die early, intelligent people die fast?

According to recent research, if people are too smart, they are likely to die early. Are people with high IQ likely to die soon? Let's take a look at it together with the small edition of sihai.com. According to a recent report on the website of new scientist, a survey involving 65000 people shows that people with higher IQ are less likely to die before the age of 79.

The team from the University of Edinburgh, Ian Middleton delley, conducted a health data survey on these people. They were all born in Scotland in 1936, and each person was tested for intelligence at the age of 11. Their health data has been tracked for 68 years, i.e. until the end of 2015.

The study found that the level of children's examination scores was related to the risk of death from disease. For those with high scores, the risk of death from respiratory system disease was reduced by 28%; the risk of death from coronary heart disease was reduced by 25%; and the risk of death from stroke was reduced by 24%.

The team says there are several reasons why smarter people live longer. For example, people with high IQ are more likely to care for their health, they are less likely to smoke, take the initiative to seek medical care when they are ill, and do more exercise.

"We hope to find out the reason why smart people live longer, and let more people copy these practices, so that everyone has a chance to live healthier and longer. 'said Daley.
