האם אנשים חכמים חיים יותר? ד״ר גיל יוסף שחר (M.D) CategoryEducationPrivacy configurationPublicAudi

In this short Hebrew‑language educational video, Dr. Gil Joseph Shachar (M.D.) summarizes a massive, unique longitudinal study that examined the relationship between childhood intelligence (measured by IQ tests) and health outcomes many decades later. The study found that children with higher IQ scores experienced lower rates of heart disease, stroke, dementia, lung disease, certain gastrointestinal disorders, and smoking‑related cancers. Dr. Shachar argues that the protective effect is not due to innate wisdom or intelligence per se, but rather to the greater acquisition of accurate knowledge and more informed decision‑making that higher‑IQ individuals tend to exhibit throughout life. He concludes with a practical message: continue learning, reading, watching, and applying knowledge throughout adulthood to promote better health and longevity.
