Beijing the time the morning of April 26th message, according to the British "Daily Mail" reported that the United Kingdom study found that people respond to is the best time of life indicator than through blood pressure, exercise volume or weight to more accurately predict life expectancy. On the possibility of premature death, the slow reaction of the men and women were more than responsive and more than double.

University of Edinburgh and Glasgow, United Kingdom Medical Research Council in a 20-year study, the follow-up from across the country the situation of 7414 volunteers. They confirmed the results of research on "the psychological equivalent to the health of a healthy body," the saying goes. The researchers noted that people's reaction time is a measure of their intellectual standards, and human intelligence is the "system integrity" of the indicator.

They said: "Our findings show that the reaction time and intelligence relating to a large extent, it is Cardiovascular disease and other important risk factors for the cause of death. "" intellectual "magazines such their found. In the first reaction time and attention to the relationship between the mortality study, researchers will study the results of their smoking and drinking with known risk factors were compared. They said that more and more evidence that higher IQ people are living longer and healthier lives. This is to some extent due to differences in the way of life. Had never explained the reasons for this gap. The researchers said that more intelligent people smoking and a lower probability of overweight.

from the mid-80s, they began to pay close attention to the situation of 7414 volunteers. At that time, researchers have used a small screen and button number 5 electronic devices, measuring the response time of volunteers. The emergence of a digital screen, the volunteers will be based on the corresponding button. At the same time, the researchers record their time to respond. Since then, the death of 1289 volunteers, of which 568 people died of heart disease. Then, researchers will be the victim's reaction time, smoking habits, body weight and other factors, with the living situation of the volunteers were compared. The results showed that the slow response of the chance of premature death increased by 2.6 times. Smoking and increased mortality is the only factor, it is the probability of premature death increased by 3.03 times. Exercise, blood pressure, heart rate, waist-hip ratio, alcohol consumption and body mass index also has a small impact. In the case of heart disease death, the reaction time is the blood after the most important factor, than the impact of smoking larger.

researchers said: "In the past the assumption that some scientists to measure the speed of brain information processing capacity of the standard - the response time may become a symbol of the integrity of the human body system. Now, compare the slow response time or less information processing power may become the standard does not meet the best indicator of physiological function, and physiological function and early death.
