Mammalian lifespan linked to brain size and immune system function

Mammal's lifespans linked to brain size and immune system function, says new study

Why do cats generally live longer than dogs? New research suggests that longer lifespans of mammals like cats could be linked to their bigger brains and more complex immune systems.

The lifespan of mammals is determined by brain size and immune system.

Why do cats outlive dogs? Clues found in their immune genes

University of Bath researchers found that mammals with larger brains and more immune-related genes live longer.

Bigger Brains and Strong Immunity Linked to Longer Lifespans

New research reveals that mammals with larger brains and more robust immune systems tend to live longer lives. By studying 46 species, scientists found a clear link between maximum lifespan and the expansion of immune-related gene families.
