Urine can help predict life expectancy

Scientists have found that life expectancy depends directly on the chemical composition of urine. The higher the concentration of protein in the urine, the more likely it is that the results of longevity predictions will be sad, according to Moscow University News.

To come to this conclusion, Canadian experts have handled a huge amount of information. They studied the statistical analysis results of more than 810,000 people in the age of 30-85. They focused on understanding the relationship between urine contents and the proportion of premature deaths. And their conclusions surprised everyone.

Until recently, people still thought that urine proteins (called proteinuria) showed us 'problematic' kidneys . However, the phenomenon of proteinuria may sometimes occur in healthy people and is often cited as because of excessive physical activity, stress or hypothermia. Urine is considered normal if the protein concentration does not exceed 0.03 grams per liter. Higher, means that kidney function is impaired.

The authors of the study have demonstrated that people who generally do not detect protein in their urine are the longest-lived. Men with median healthy kidney statistics average 15 years longer than their peers with high proteinuria. The difference in life expectancy between healthy women and kidney disease is even more severe, up to 17 years.

Experts also said that when proteins appear in the urine, it is the messenger who comes to believe that death has begun to depart and comes to meet us every day.

People whose test results show that protein has not been concluded as 'bad' should also be very wary. Compared to people of the same age, if it is male, the life expectancy will be shortened by 8 years, while for women, this figure is 10.5 years.
