A conversation centered around our ability to influence our longevity and how health varies with socio-economic status from a global perspective but also in Sweden. The conversation focuses on how lifestyle with emphasis on diet and nutrition affect longevity, but also the importance of infectious diseases and the connection between diet and infection. For example, the link between Covid-19 and vitamin D. How infectious diseases are affected by diet and lifestyle factors and differences in life expectancy between low- and middle-income countries compared with Sweden.
