At the time, the prevalence of centenarians in industrialized countries was approximately one centenarian per 10, people in the population. Thus, at any one time, we were studying approximately 46 centenarians within a total population of , people 2. The NECS has gone on to enroll centenarians from throughout the United States and other countries and has grown to be the largest comprehensive study of centenarians in the world.
Demographics: In the U. When the centenarian study began in , the prevalence rate was one per 10,, making centenarians one of, if not the fastest growing segments of the population. In , there are about 70, centenarians in the U.
Though women by far and away win the longevity marathon, paradoxically the fewer men are generally functionally better off and healthier. This may be because women handle age related diseases better how they do this is not clear whereas at these ages, the men more readily die from them. Thus, the men who survive have to be relatively healthy and functionally fit.
In , there were about 60 to 70 supercentenarians in the US. In , the New England Centenarian Study enrolled its th supercentenarian, thus constituting by far and away the largest sample of such subjects in the world.
Geography: There are several geographical areas that have claimed inhabitants with extreme longevity, but after closer examination, these claims have been found to be false. What about the reports of people in the Russian Caucases living to years and beyond?
Remember the Dannon yogurt commercials? In fact, those purported super-centenarians were taking on the identities of their parents, aunts and uncles. The oldest person from whom we have multiple forms of proof-of-age is Madame Calment who died at the age of years in These regions of purported exceptional longevity still merit careful study however.
Though claims of extreme age are untrue, there still may be an unusually high prevalence of very old fit people in these regions. In the Tibetan mountains for instance, octogenarian and nonagenarian elders, impressively many of them men, still herd live stock and still lead physically strenuous lives.
Predictors of Reaching Once it truly became apparent that living to was a terrific advantage, not just in years of survival but importantly in many more years of quality life, we set out to understand what factors the centenarians had in common that might explain such an advantage.
Not all centenarians are alike. They vary widely in years of education no years to post-graduate , socioeconomic status very poor to very rich , religion, ethnicity and patterns of diet strictly vegetarian to extremely rich in saturated fats.
