The places that boost lifespan may surprise you
Current location has a “large causal impact” on a person’s lifespan, according to researchers at Stanford University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who looked at Medicare beneficiary data and how location affects mortality at and after age 65. Remaining life expectancy at age 65 grew 1.1 years, or 5%, if a person moved from a low-level locale to one that showed high levels of life expectancy.
Still, the location itself does play a role in behavioral changes. The locations that had a greater potential to expand lifespans were those that had less extreme climates, less pollution and fewer automobile deaths and homicides. Residents in those areas also had higher income and education, and were more likely to exercise and less likely to smoke.
Relocating to a new city in retirement is a goal for some Americans, but it can be difficult to decide where the next residence should be. There are numerous considerations to make, including the cost of living in that city — for housing but also groceries and utilities. Retirees also need to review where nearby hospitals and medical centers are and how close they are to certain types of doctors if they need specialized care.
