    #Aging #Seniors #100YearsOld #Centenarians

    I hope that I'm in as good shape physically & mentally as DVD when I hit 100. 🙏

    That's not just a pipedream for me because my mother was 101 when she passed but she was a total wreck at that age both physically & mentally. It was hard to watch her deteriorate in that way & I definitely don't want to go out like that!🤦

    Well, I've got another 25 yrs to find out how that turns out. 🤔

  2. Our magnum opus on everything related to #aging (at least from our point of view) with the title “Biomarkers of aging: from molecules and surrogates to physiology and function” is out now in in Physiological Reviews, publications of the American Physiological Society (currently still as a preprint - #openaccess, i.e. everybody can freely download and read the article)! Hopefully written in a manner that is accessible to all, including non-specialists. Great collaboration with Regula Furrer from the @biozentrum, @unibasel.

    What can you find in this review? A couple of teasers:

    1.) What is aging? An inevitable normal biological process? A disease that can be treated or even cured? In any case, aging is one of the strongest risk factors for many (mostly chronic diseases), e.g. #cancer, #neurodegeneration and #dementia or #cardiovascular pathologies.

    2.) How can aging be studied? What do genetic diseases of "accelerated aging" (e.g. #progeria (super-) #centenarians or specific geographical regions of supposed longevity (e.g. in a so-called #bluezone tell us?

    3.) How might human aging differ from that in animals? What could this mean for the study of model organisms in this field?

  4. Discover the secrets of longevity from Sardinia! 🌿 The centenarians' diet is rich in veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats, with a focus on moderation. 🥗🥩 Their meals include legume soups and goat milk, while enjoying life one bite at a time. 🍷✨ Dive into this unique lifestyle and learn more about their incredible health secrets! #Sardinia #Centenarians #HealthyLiving #BlueZones

  5. In Japan, a country noted for its #longevity,
    a 2010 investigation found that 238,000 of its centenarian population was likely already dead.

    Recent estimates have revised down the number of #centenarians by 82%.

    Italy, another hotbed of longevity, was discovered to be paying the pensions of 30,000 dead people.

    In the US, it was recently found that more than 35% of all #supercentenarians were in fact #Dead

  10. A #Metagenomics study reveals the gut microbiome as a sex-specific modulator of #HealthyAging in Hainan #centenarians

    "...the #gut_microbiome structure and resistance to oxidative stress in healthy centenarians differ between the sexes and provides new insights into the possible sex-specific role of the gut microbiome in healthy #aging..."

  11. The Big 100: The New World of Super-Aging

    What happens to all of us when 65 is merely a life half-lived?By 2050, the world’s centenarian population—those aged 100 or more—will increase eightfold. Half of today’s 5-year-olds can expect to reach the same heights.

    The Big 100 confronts readers with both the brightness and potential bleakness of a fate few of us thought possible.

  12. "His style is to step back, take a look at how many supercentenarians there have been, and figure out when they lived and died. The limits of human longevity won’t be found by looking at individuals, he believes, but by examining super-long-lived people collectively."
