Nobel victors live longer
Published Date:

A NOBEL Prize is more than a feather in the academic cap - it can add nearly two years to a winner's life.
Scientists at the University of Warwick studied 524 chemists and physicists who had won a Nobel Prize, or had been nominated, between 1901 and 1950.
Nominees were found to live an average of 75.8 years, but the 135 scientists who actually won a Nobel Prize survived 1.4 years longer.
For winners and nominees from the same country, the gap widened by another eight months.
