[How do Muscovites live longer?]

In Russia, Muscovites are in second place in terms of life expectancy (76,77 years), second only to the Republic of Ingushetia (80,05 years). Possible factors for the successful aging of Muscovites are considered, among which the main role is presumably played not by environmental factors, but by social factors in the form of various forms of leisure that allow them to maintain high intellectual and physical activity. The possible participation of the regional branches of the Gerontological Society in information and educational programs on gerontology for the public and medical staff is discussed.
