    compare to what the news said, i recalled in our holy book (Al-Quran) ever said, living together with families and relative can give a long age. Islam teach us to be close to our families and have a harmony living in this world. i think this is true. (of cos if using natural medical and eat good healthy food can add up the numbers :)
