The revealing study reveals that life in space is not as dangerous as previously thought
The coolest work of the solar system has just gained even colder.
It goes without saying,Be an astronaut is dangerous. Although they are not struck with asteroid debris as often as blockbuster movies would be believers, things go wrong. (Although all, it's less dangerous than some fields: in total, 18 astronauts haveapparently deceased during the light of space.)
Nevertheless, the launch in the cosmos gives other invisible perils, such as radiation, which could cause cancer, cataract or vision deficiency, as well as other degenerative diseases,According to NASA. But as spatial exploration is a relatively new phenomenon, there has been not enough research to determine the longitudinal effects on the health of time to spend time outside the terrestrial atmosphere, up to at least at least.
A new study published inProfessional and environmental medicineRevealed the results of nearly 60 years of data on American astronauts and professional athletes. The reason these two groups were chosen for comparison purposes were because both are contrary to being maximum physical fitness, to form wages above average and have excellent health care and would allow So determine the best way to determine the amount of effect space on longevity when all other health factors are more or less the same.
"The challenge has always been to understand whether astronauts are as high as they have been comparable, but never went to the space at all," said Dr. Robert J. Reynolds, Director of the research on research on mortality and consulting and co-author of the study,RecountAmerica's voice . "To do this, we had to find a comparable group on several important factors, but has never been to space."
Surprisingly, they found that despite the emotional and physical radiation and physical toll, astronauts have a lower risk of premature death of heart disease and other natural causes as the general population. In fact, their mortality rates were more or less in accordance with those of the professional athletes of the Major Baseball Group of the League and the National Basketball Association between 1960 and mid-2018.
The risk of mortalityDue to cancer Was more or less the same as those of professional athletes, leading researchers to believe that spatial influence may not necessarily be as much concern than the thought previously. And even more surprising, astronauts actually have lower death rates from cardiovascular disease than athletes.
Of course, the study can not conclude verifiable that we will all be healthier if we move to the moon one day, and it is limited by the fact that it does not include women. But what we can absolutely remove, if you want to live a long and healthy life in good health, your external circumstances do not have almost as much as you take good care of your body.
After all, researchers think that the reason why pro-athletes and astronauts tend to survive are mainly because they make healthy lifestyle choices. In addition, they do not smoke or drink excess, and they exercise regularly. In addition, they are employed in a winning way in a job they like, whoStudies have shown that people live longer that those who can not find work, a phenomenon called "healthy worker effect".
