Could a bit of light reading every day add years
to your life?A new study
by Yale University found
that reading books was
positively correlated
with increased lifespan -people who read books
lived for around two
years longer than those
who didn’t.
Adding a few more
pages
In the study, published in
the journal Social Science and Medicine, researchers evaluated
data on 3,635 Americans
aged over 50.
Respondents were separated into those who
read for 3.5 hours or
more a week, those who
read for up to 3.5 hours
a week, and those who
didn’t read at all, controlling for factors such as
gender, race and education.
The researchers discovered that those who read
for more than 3.5 hours
a week were 23% less
likely to die within 12
years, while those who
read for up to 3.5 hours
a week were 17% less
likely to die within that
period.
Co-author of the study,
Becca R. Levy, Professor of Epidemiology at
Yale University, told the
New York Times,
“People who report as
little as a half-hour a day
of book reading had a
significant survival advantage over those who
did not read.”

It will be necessary to get
