A new study has found that those in power live an average of 4.5 years longer than those who they represent.

Researchers at the University of Oxford analysed health data from 11 countries and more than 57,000 politicians dating back to the early 19th century to come up with findings.

The life expectancy gaps vary by country, ranging from three years in Switzerland to 7.5 years in Italy.

Dr. Laurence Roope, from the University of Oxford's Health Economics Research Centre, said: "Our study is the largest to date to compare the mortality rate and life expectancy of politicians with those of the age and gender-matched general population.

"The results show that the survival advantage of politicians today is very high compared to that observed in the first half of the 20th century."

So there we go folks.....

Wirral.

Well if I was able to retire at 60 with a very generous pension, I'd probably love a lot longer too.

How is it not useful? Its confirmation, within a scientific setting, so it's useful for arguing with people who would say otherwise.

Yes, confirmation of useless information.

A lot on the Tory benches are private educated with private healthcare and plenty of money so spend on a lovely diet.

It's no surprise really

Are you a politician?

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

Different countries, different centuries, different life expectancies in general.

Stripping all that out for a relatively small sample (politicians vs overall population) and you can conclude that people in power have better access to health care, less exposure to disease, and probably eat more nutriciously.

..if you didn't already know those things.
