A study from Ohio State University analyzed census data from over 66,000 people and found that those living near the coast tend to live longerโabout a year longer than the national average of 79 years. ๐๐
In contrast, residents near inland bodies of water, especially in urban areas, had shorter life expectancies. ๐๐
Researchers suggest factors like better air quality, milder temperatures, and increased socioeconomic status contribute to this trend. ๐ฌ๏ธ๐ก๏ธ๐ฐ
