Aging is all in the genes, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens. A new study by researchers at Boston University shows that the older your brothers and sisters get, the greater the chance that you’ll grow just as old.
If your sibling lives to be 95, your chances are three-and-a-half times higher than normal. If he or she gets to live to the ripe old age of 100, the chances that you’ll be a centenarian are nine times higher. And, if your brother or your sister hits the jackpot and lives to be 105, your chance of growing that old is 35 times greater than the average mortal.
