FILE - In this Thursday, Dec. 10, 2015 file photo, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau poses for selfies with workers before he greets refugees from Syria at Pearson International airport, in Toronto. Leading a country comes with extraordinary privileges, but that apparently comes at a price: new research suggests that heads of state age faster than normal and that the stress may shave almost three years off their life expectancy. Doctors analyzed how long presidents and prime ministers in 17 countries - including Britain, Canada, France, Germany and the U.S. - survived after leaving office, compared to the losing candidates. They also observed the number of years heads of state lived versus what was expected for someone of the same age and gender. (Nathan Denette/The Canadian Press via AP, File)
