Surprising factors which could affect your life expectancy
By Peter Crush workplacefocus.co.uk
Enough to lose sleep about
Not getting enough kip? Maybe you should. Those who sleep less than six hours per night (one third of Britons, according to the Sleep Council5), run a 4.5% greater risk of having a stroke. Chronic lack of sleep causes inflammations, elevates blood pressure and heart rate, and affects glucose levels. However, too much sleep can be just as bad. More than 10 hours per night gives rise to increased heart disease, diabetes and obesity. The University of California found those who get seven hours a night have a lower death rate than those who get eight.7
Stay working to stay alive?
It’s often suggested that retiring is not good for people’s lifespan, as staying working (maintaining people’s social groups, and ultimately giving people a reason to get up each day) keeps people alive for longer. This has started to be debunked though, as recent changes to Norway’s retirement age left some in the country retiring at 62 and others at 67, but there were no differences observed in people’s life expectancy. However, all the research indicates that forced retirement (through redundancy, disciplinary or ill-health) does link to shorter lifespan, as it contributes to depression, stress and anxiety.
How happy are you?
This should cheer you up. People have a 35% lower chance of dying if they are content, excited or happy on any given day, according to researchers who followed different groups of people at University College London10. The good news is that as much as 40-50% of a person’s capacity for happiness is genetically pre-determined – which explains why some people can have no money, or lead very hard lives, but still feel happy. In the HR world, happiness is now being closely linked to the topic of ‘resilience’ – the ability of people to cope with difficult and stressful circumstances that could also make them unhappy. Best of all, this is a trait that can be learned too.
Single or married?
Despite the stresses and strains of marriage, research actually shows that being on your own (particularly in your middle years), substantially shortens your life. Studies show single men die almost a decade earlier than married men, with one survey in the American Journal of Epidemiology suggesting that, at any given age, single men face a 32% higher risk of dying compared to married men. Single women face an increased mortality risk of 23% compared to married women. Being married and then getting divorced is no protection either. Divorcees have a 23% higher risk of dying early according to the University of Arizona. One study however claims that men who date women substantially younger than them (between 15-17 years) can cut their chances of dying, while they do so, by a fifth.

Tired of your quiet routine? How about leaving your computer games behind and taking up an extreme sport?
You can ride a bicycle, right? In that case you're halfway to becoming a mountain biker. All you have to do is take your bike off the road and try some rough terrain. Mountain biking was developed in California in the 1970s and became an Olympic sport in 1996. In the London 2012 games athletes had to navigate a 4.7-kilometre track in less than two hours.
Not challenging enough? Skydivers jump from aircraft at an altitude of 1,000 to 4,000 metres. You have to be fit but there's no age limit with this sport. Dilys Price from Cardiff went on her first jump aged 54. The minute she came down she wanted to go up again. "I was hooked", said Dilys.
Some adrenaline junkies are even bolder – they've invented base jumping, in which people leap from tall structures, such as buildings or bridges, with a parachute. Many of their stunts aren't legal, especially in urban areas. Dan Witchalls has jumped off The Shard - London's 310 metre-high skyscraper - four times. He says: "Base jumping is scarier than jumping out of a plane. In a plane there's no perception of height, but when you are standing on the edge of the building you can see people and cars - it makes it very real."
It seems there's no lack of imagination when it comes to risking life to look cool and get the heart pounding. Surfing, scuba diving, rock climbing… How about turning one of your chores into a daredevil pursuit? 'Extreme ironing' isn't for wimps! Pressing your shirt on top of a mountain could be dangerous, depending on the mountain. Extreme ironing is said to have been created in the 1990s in the English town of Leicester by a man who saw a pile of wrinkled clothes and felt bored. That was Phil Shaw who also won the only Extreme Ironing Championships ever held, in Germany in 2002. For him, the thrill of this sport comes from looking at the spectators' faces. Shaw says: "Sometimes they look confused, sometimes they laugh. It's fun to see how people respond to it."
