Associate Professor Hassan Vally: Living Longer

One of the oldest and most enduring questions we ask is: How long will we live? And tied to that is a big one — is our lifespan primarily written in our genes or shaped by our lifestyle and environment?

A new study published in Nature Medicine tackles that exact question, analysing half a million people’s health data to compare the influence of genes versus lifestyle. The findings are eye-opening and might change how you think about aging.

Guest: Associate Professor Hassan Vally, Epidemiologist at Deakin University

Presenter: Warren Andrew
