What Your Face Says About How Long You May Live

Women who look younger than their years may have lower risks of heart disease and stroke and a greater chance of outliving someone the same age but with more wrinkles, a study announced Thursday Nov 07,2013

Published in the Journals of Gerontology, researchers from Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands and industry scientists from the multinational company Unilever studied 260 women whom they separated into two groups based on high and low risk of heart disease

Findings showed that women who had fewer wrinkles and a more youthful appearance had lower blood pressure and heart disease risks.

In a separate study on men, the scientists found no discernible difference in the appearance of wrinkles and blood pressure, but discovered that men from long-lived families tended to look younger than men in control group of the same age. Both women and men from long-lived families had less skin-wrinkling on the upper arm than control groups of the same age.
