Ce au în comun oamenii care depășesc 100 de ani. Descoperirea făcută după 55 de ani de cercetări

The secret to longevity among centenarians is a combination of various factors rather than a single diet or habit, according to a comprehensive analysis of 124 studies over 55 years. Researchers found that genetics, diet, physical activity, social support, and luck all play a role in living past 100. Biological studies indicate that long-lived individuals age differently at the cellular level, showing slower DNA degradation and healthier mitochondria. Many centenarians follow a plant-based diet, remain active, avoid smoking, and maintain strong social connections. However, not all centenarians fit this pattern, as some develop diseases early but live with them for many years. The studies focus only on those who reach 100, leaving unknowns about others with similar traits who may have died earlier.
