Mostly True
The text claims that people who live near the sea live longer.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (67/100).
The claim that people who live near the sea live longer is supported by a study from The Ohio State University, which suggests that coastal residents may live longer due to factors like milder temperatures, better air quality, and more recreational opportunities. However, this is not universally applicable to all bodies of water, as urban areas near inland rivers and lakes do not show the same benefits. The evidence is consistent across multiple sources, indicating a correlation between coastal living and increased longevity, but it is important to note that correlation does not imply causation.

People who live near the sea live longer.
The claim is supported by a study from The Ohio State University, which found that people living near the coast tend to live longer than those in urban areas near inland bodies of water. This is attributed to factors like better air quality and more recreational opportunities. Multiple sources corroborate this finding, but it is important to recognize that the study shows correlation rather than causation.
