A team of scientists from Denmark conducted a study and found that the twins live longer than other people. This reported in the edition of PLoS ONE.

In the study, researchers analyzed the life expectancy in 2932 same-sex pairs of twins from Denmark born between 1870 and 1900. While the average life expectancy of men in the country was about 45 years old. However, the average life expectancy of male twins was up 6%

The average length of women at the time was 60 years, and the average life expectancy of female twins -. 10% more. According to scientists, the results of their study suggest that the twins are often each other’s support and help, for example, to overcome bad habits to his brother or sister
