Do genes influence the length of life?

Genes have little impact on a person's life span.

This was made known after a study of the family trunk of over 400 million people,

DNA determines many of our characteristics, and with the improvement of our genetic tests, they are thought to determine our health as well as what we carry to future generations.

However, life expectancy depends on environmental factors, such as diet or smoking, as well as social factors such as wealth.

According to research conducted by Calico Life Sciences and Anceptry. com, our parents' life expectancy can hardly predict how long we will live.
