The researchers explained why children with high IQ live longer.

Such conclusions were made by the representatives of the University of Edinburgh.

According to scientists, a high level of intelligence at school age due to the low risk of death from stroke, cardiovascular disease and cancer, which may cause Smoking.

After research that was previously conducted, scientists have offered explanations for this phenomenon. But they took into account only the data of recruits, which were observed just before reaching middle age.

It is known that scientists have conducted a complete study of the dependence of intelligence and longevity. For the study, they processed the data of 60 thousand inhabitants of Scotland who were born in 1936. However, studied only those who at age 11 was tested for their level of intelligence.

It was found that those who had a high level of intelligence, had far lower mortality before reaching 79 years of age.

We will remind that not so long ago, experts from the United States and England have identified 40 genes which are responsible for human intelligence. To find these genes has succeeded with the help of data processing 80 thousand people.
