A study conducted by scientists in the UK trying to figure out what caused the difference in average age between men with high social level and men with low social level. According to the results, the average age of a rich man to 8 years longer than the poor man.
As reported Dailymail, December 26, 2015, scientists based at University College London conducted a study of correspondents consisting of two groups. The first group is men
with incomes of less than 6,000 pounds per year, while the second group earning more than 30,000 pounds per year.
The first group is the men from poor family background, they do not have a higher education. The second group came from a rich family background, and have a higher education. Wealth and education turned out to have a relationship with a male hormone levels.
Based on these studies it has been found that the poor man, appeared to have lower testosterone levels. Low testosterone is associated with depression, osteoporosis, obesity, and decreased muscle mass.
While the lack of education makes poor men had higher levels of cortisol were also lower. Low Cortisol is associated with pain, prone to depression, insomnia, and heart palpitations. Cortisol also causes the body runs out of protein IGF (insulin-like growth factor), which will increase the risk of cancer and mental decline.
Based on these results, scientists announced that the levels of testosterone and cortisol were lower, the average age of a rich man 8 years longer than the poor man. Since balance hormone levels is very important to keep the body healthy.
"These hormones are thought to work together to ensure the healthy development and also has a lot of different roles in regulating health in older age. Differences in hormone levels between a rich man and a poor man may play a role in explaining social inequalities in terms of health and age "said Professor Diana Kuh of the Medical Research Council Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing, University College London.
