Abstract

Longevity has become a reality of life. Global average life expectancy has increased by 5 years between 2000 and 2015. This increase does not promise a healthy life; physical, financial, and mental constraints associate with aging. Obstacles in the path to successful aging are connected with behavioural determinants and genetic determinants. Major risk factors of behavioural determinants can be restrained at an early age, and factors can be mitigated. We studied successful aging determinants in 68 old age (65+) humans. Through our survey, we have gathered information related to behavioural determinants (smoking, alcohol use, diet, BMI index, physical activity, sleep patterns, education level), genetic determinants (diabetes, anaemia, hemochromatosis, breast cancer, allergy, mental illnesses), socio-psychological determinants (marital status, interest in arts, and music, having a child, happiness index, relationship with friends & family, loneliness, financial situation). Survey results help us understand and measure behavioural, genetic, and socio-psychological effects on biological aging at the micro-level. Results can be used to understand major risk factors among determinants.
