How long we live is down to a number of contributing factors. Some of these are beyond our control, such as genetics, illnesses and injuries.<\/p>\n
But others are actually within our control such as our diets, how often we exercise and whether we smoke or drink a lot of alcohol. Where you live can also play a role.<\/p>\n
Certain towns and cities in the UK have higher life expectancies than others. And research by Oldest in Britain has pinpointed exactly where residents can expect to live longer.<\/p>\n
As part of the research, they studied how many centenarians lived in each part of the country over a 12-year period. Overall, the south east of England was found to have the greatest number of people aged over 100.<\/p>\n
Whether this is due to the fact people move to these areas to retire, or whether living there promotes longevity remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
