Childhood Conditions and Exceptional Longevity
A number of previous studies found interesting links between the early-life experiences and a subsequent mortality in later life. Such findings justify further advancement of these studies by exploring possible links between childhood conditions and exceptional longevity (survival to 100 years). However a number of methodological issues have to be resolved (such as data availability, quality, a...
متن کاملGenetic Signatures of Exceptional Longevity in Humans
Healthy aging is thought to reflect the combined influence of environmental factors (lifestyle choices) and genetic factors. To explore the genetic contribution, we undertook a genome-wide association study of exceptional longevity (EL) in 1055 centenarians and 1267 controls. Using these data, we built a genetic model that includes 150 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and found that it co...
متن کاملExceptional longevity in men: modifiable factors associated with survival and function to age 90 years.
BACKGROUND Prospective data on nongenetic determinants of exceptional longevity are limited, and information on long-lived men and their functional status is particularly sparse. We examined modifiable factors associated with a life span of 90 or more years and late-life function in men. METHODS In this prospective cohort study of 2357 healthy men (mean age, 72 years) within the Physicians' H...
متن کاملResilience Significantly Contributes to Exceptional Longevity
Objective. We aim to investigate whether centenarians are significantly more resilient than younger elders and whether resilience significantly contributes to exceptional longevity. Data. We use a unique dataset from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey with the largest sample to date of centenarians, nonagenarians, octogenarians, and a compatible group of young old aged 65-79. Met...
متن کاملThe epidemiology of longevity and exceptional survival.
The field of the "epidemiology of longevity" has been expanding rapidly in recent years. Several long-term cohort studies have followed older adults long enough to identify the most long-lived and to define many factors that lead to a long life span. Very long-lived people such as centenarians have been examined using case-control study designs. Both cohort and case-control studies have been th...
