According to British scientists, there is a sign that can determine a person's predisposition to early death. It is related to the eyes. This is what the experts found after a large-scale study conducted over 10 years

36,000 people were monitored, of which 1,871 people died (all over the age of forty). The scientists note that the cause of death of most of the study participants was cancer.

According to the experts, the patients had a "rapidly aging" retina, that is, its condition did not correspond to the actual age of the person being observed. Such problems can occur due to problems with nerves and blood vessels.

Thus, scientists have found that premature aging of the retina may indicate a predisposition to early death. The retina is the most sensitive part of the eye. Its main function is to transmit images to the brain.

If the retina is one year "older" than a person's actual age, then the risk of dying from any cause increases by two percent.

In addition, doctors have identified a rare symptom of lung cancer. It's heel pain. According to doctors, you should raise the alarm if the leg pain is severe enough or does not go away within two weeks.
