Conclusion

As in general, we learned that there are no set requirements for a long-life, it depends mostly on health, environment, and the quality of life that a person has. Having children does not guarantee that we will live longer. Nor does it matter if you have a rich lifestyle or are in a humble situation. Nor is it dependent on the gender. Men have the same chances to live to old age as women.
