Definitely maybe: Good genes are important but diet ; lifestyle are even more important. Someone with good genes who drinks a lot, smokes, has an unhealthy diet ; lots of stress will probably have worse health than someone with average genes who takes good care of themselves. But having good genes ; following a healthy diet ; lifestyle gives one the best odds of longevity.
