Correlation between Longevity and Wealth

A recent study from the University College London found that a human hormone called Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEAS) can increase human longevity.

The study also found that the DHEAS hormone is found in higher levels in wealthier people.  In other words, the richer you are the higher the level of the DHEAS hormone.
