 |

What determines who lives to 100 years of age? This new journal article explores this question:
| Quote: |
| Attaining age 100 is a rare event in industrialized nations, occurring in 1 person per 10,000 in the population. Becoming a centenarian does not appear to be rare because the individual genetic or behavioral factors (such as specific genetic polymorphisms or lack of specific toxic exposures) that enable such longevity are rare, but rather because having the adequate combination of these factors is rare. |
Hint, hint: CR substantially increases your odds of becoming a centenarian!
