Lifestyle factors, such as diet, exercise, and smoking, can affect how long a person lives.
However, we may not realize that a major factor, such as breathing pattern, can also affect a person’s lifespan.
According to a new study published in the journal Respirology, breathing patterns can affect life expectancy.
The study involves more than 2,000 Australians who were followed over 22 years. An analysis of data from 2,087 participants revealed a unique feature, as the study results found that those who experienced shortness of breath, regardless of their smoking habits, were more likely to die prematurely.
Additionally, the results found that coughing in former smokers and breathing in current smokers indicated an increased risk of early death.
Smoking remains one of the most important driving factors affecting the risk of death from heart disease or cancer.
The study concluded that “respiratory symptoms predict death in the elderly.” Lead author of the study Kate Petrie said that even if adults experience mild respiratory symptoms, they can benefit from early diagnosis through regular doctor visits.
The researchers continued: Coughing in former smokers, shortness of breath in current smokers, and all those with shortness of breath require further investigation and re-management of the disease.
Meanwhile, researchers have discovered that fresh coffee, with no milk or sugar, has been shown to be the key to a longer and healthier life.
Several studies have revealed that coffee drinkers are more likely to die early from heart disease or cancer.
The results of the study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, showed that drinking two and a half to four cups of coffee a day was associated with a 29% lower risk of death. This effect (a reduced risk of early death) is also strong for sweetening coffee.
