A stupid person has a shorter life

Stupidity seems to have positive aspects as well. After the question, which extends a person’s life, intelligence or stupidity? The intelligent may seem younger, as he is tormented by the constant questions that do not stop and thinking about almost everything.
But new research reveals that smart people live longer, due to the so-called "intelligence genes" that control aging.

In this framework, scientists have identified more than 500 fairies associated with people with greater intelligence, which is 10 times higher than previously thought.
Previous research suggests that intelligence genes enhance signal transmission between different regions of the brain, as well as protect against dementia and premature death.

Study author Dr David Hill, from the University of Edinburgh, said: 'Intelligence is considered a genetic trait, with estimates suggesting that between 50 and 80 percent of differences in intelligence can be explained by genetics.
"It has been observed that people who have a higher level of cognitive function have better physical and mental health, and they have a chance of a longer life," he adds.
Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, affects around 850 people in the UK.
Recent research results show that there are 538 genes that play a role in intelligence, while 187 regions of the human genome are associated with thinking skills.
"Our study demonstrated the association of a large number of genes with human intelligence," Dr. Hill said.

Earlier this year, a study of more than 78000 people suggested that only 52 genes are associated with intelligence.
The study showed that people who display these genes in childhood are less likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease, depression, schizophrenia and obesity later in life.
In the recent study, researchers analyzed the genetic variations of more than 240 people around the world, to arrive at the latest results.
Scientists suggest solutions that help in the development of human intelligence, such as sports, and dancing, which is more effective in this, especially with music, as it develops the queen of concentration.
