Intelligence is stronger than the obesity index, total cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels, and can cause death rates similar to smoking. But the cause is still mysterious. You need to change that.
Reducing health inequality is a priority and the cause must be identified. Since then, cognitive epidemiology has been established as a separate field of research, and systematic reviews have established the relationship between the intelligence and mortality of young people in different populations, different countries and at different times.
This field focuses on four non-specific possibilities for the link between intelligence and death.
First of all, it is a clear way for many people to make it clear that intelligence is more about education and then more professional occupations that can move a person into a healthy environment.
Adult education and social class statistical adjustments can reduce or eliminate the association between early childhood intelligence and mortality. But not always.
In addition, the cause and effect of intelligence, education and social class have not been clarified. A person with a higher and better education may have a higher IQ score. However, a child with a high IQ score is more likely to complete a multi-year education, gain higher qualifications and find a better job.
Therefore, adjusting for education and social class in the Intelligence-Death Association may be an excessive adjustment, it may eliminate some of the effects of intelligence that we are trying to discover.
Second, people with higher intelligence can have healthier behavior.
Evidence alleges that highly intelligent people early in life are more likely to eat better, exercise more, avoid accidents, quit smoking, consume less alcohol excessively, and weigh less in adulthood. But even this does not seem to be the whole story.
A review called the US-Vietnam Experience Study, high IQ test scores after induction are associated with a low likelihood of developing middle-aged metabolic syndrome a combination of factors such as obesity, hypertension, and impaired glucose metabolism.
In the same study, higher intelligence was also associated with a lower probability of death after 15 years of follow-up. Adaptation with metabolic syndrome reduced the association of intelligence by reducing mortality from all causes by 10% and from heart disease by 32%.
Third, early life psychological test scores can serve as a record of brain damage that occurred before that date.
This insult - the result of traumatic events, or illness, accidents or deprivation before the psychological test. Intelligence can be a major factor behind both test scores and risk of death. So far, very little evidence supports this. Birth weight and parental social class are associated with intelligence test scores. But, when the correlation between intelligence and death is adjusted to these factors, the association changes almost immediately. Perhaps later works will find better indicators of early life suffering with more descriptive power.
Fourth, mental test scores obtained during adolescence can be an indicator of a well-structured system.
A well-wired body is believed to be more responsive to environmental influences. This idea of "system integrity" is similar in the field of aging. Some data suggest that physical and cognitive function age together.
Some evidence is from the finding that simple response rates can replace the results of intelligence tests as a better predictor of mortality risk. Response time tasks do not require complex considerations and are unlikely to be improved by education. An important task in the region is to find better markers of system integrity and test their mortality accountability.
Although intelligence plays a role in behaviors and health outcomes that contribute to specific causes of death, intelligence has not revealed a clear range of consequences from health to work to death. Cardio- various types of mortality, including vascular disease, murder, and suicide, seem to demand their own explanation to be associated with early life intelligence.
Those who found the Intelligence-Death Association "clear" should think again. The area has benefited from a wide variety of datasets, none of which are intended to address the question of whether intelligence can cause death.
Why do we die when we do, and to what extent does this question make sense? This fundamental curiosity inspires our team and others to better scientific studies.
The discovery not only satisfies our curiosity, but also has practical implications. The effect of intelligence on mortality is not luck. Intelligence does not always cut, measure and cut the thread of life.
People with high intelligence can be expected and shared to achieve the goal of better and equal health to live and do for a longer period of time.

Intelligence people lives forever. You explained it so well
