USC study links historical increases in life span to lower childhood exposure to infection

h younger age than other studies."

Finch said the study's findings are consistent with observations that modern-day drugs that fight inflammation also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and possibly Alzheimer's.

Drug treatments might potentially be started much earlier, Finch said. Children found to be genetically predisposed to heart disease, for example, could be treated starting at a much younger age.

"These people would have a special lifestyle recommendation from the earliest years," Finch said. "We noticed that improvements in the environment may be reaching a maximum which would mean that further increase in life expectancy will depend on interventions other than public health such as this new generation of drugs."
