Relation or Longevity
To a Family’s History
jjj i.oi,/N CLEXDENING. M. I). I
■j in: OLD question of the rela
• importance of heredity and
t ,..iunmcnt in relation to long
, , y and disease will probably
,, . ,t be settled by statistics. It is
complicated a problem and too
, ;1 f:tlements enter into it for
* lat.
11c Metropolitan Life Insur
C’omnany, for instance, has i
i, ; 1 y published a study from ;
a they conclude that a pood
Dr. domiciling will answer
questions of general interest
• :v. unci then only through
i;;x column.
, • rontuent• oems to be of greater
: than long-lived parents in
miming the individual's pros
, f,,r long life. Hut it takes a
c, 1 deal of interpretation of their
•it ut i - tics to work out the conelu
Most Important Factor
Anybody who has lived as long
a | have must be pretty well con
, ,.,l that longevity in parents is
must important factor in the
>, i.gi-vity of individuals. But, of
ir-e, there are exceptions. I
Pi,- v of a number of families in
h I know the parents have
i 1 to a very ripe age, but sev
• f the children have died of
■ i ly intercurrent disease. For
, •.••nee. in one such family one
hi died of pneumonia and one •
I died of hemorrhage from an i
r of the stomach. Three others
: •;S1 alive and look as if they
• •• c' .ing to attain the same age
; i r.cir parents.
i m pneumonia and the homor
, c/e were simply accidents on the j
: . : f life which have no hered- i
• •!-■, implications at all. Certainly
!;• inherits pneumonia, and it j
. rv doubtful whether ulcer is
1, n ditary. If these two children
were dead were the only chil- j
,ti' . in the family and you based
■ ■ -'/elusions entirely on clalis- ,
V"U would he forced to con- .
that parents who lived over :
:/'(■ of SO would have children I
•• to did not attain the age of 45. '
Statistics on Mortality
1 ■ .Met rupoiitan statistics show
.' : ■ •■ low. xt mortality in a !
e*' policy holders was re- ;
(del for timse, both of whose .
c ■ .... ore living when the in- ;
■.(/•■ was issued. Tit’s group !
... r u moitality which is 12 per
cent below the ordinary average.
1 he policy holders who h id the
highest mortality were those, both
of whose parents were dead when
the policy was issued.
1 his would si t in to indicate that
heredity had a good deal to do
with it. But when the groups were
examined with respect to the age
attained by their parents, there
was no relation between that age
and the age of death of their chil
dren. Ol course, there are many
reasons why a person whose par
ents lived until he was old enough
to take out a life insurance policy
should attain a high age.
Orphanhood has a detrimental
and lasting effect on the health ef
young people. The children in
broken families are more poorly
housed, fed and clothed and receive
li's medical attention than other
children. More of them are com
pelled to go to work at young ages
and therefore at unskilled jobs.
Conclusions Hard To Accept
It is difficu ' .'or me to accep the
conclusions of the Metropolitan.
I have seen too much to the con
trary and when you get away from
long lines of statistics and actually
see families that you know, you
are convinced that heredity is the
most important factor in longevity.
"1 he difference between the stat
istician and a family doctor is the?
same as that between a man in an
airplane, who soars over a com
munity and sees thousands of
people from far off, and one who
livi s in one place and gets to know
all the neighbors from the time of
birth to the time of death.
