A review of centenarian studies

2022-06-29

Abstract excerpt

Studying centenarians requires a ‘positive biology’ approach, where rather than focusing on disease, the research aims to understand the causes of positive phenotypes and explain biological mechanisms of health and longevity. This review outlines characteristics of the key centenarian studies. Variables that may relate to longevity of these oldest old are also described, including cardiovascular health, cognitive...
