Demographic trajectories for supercentenarians
A fundamental question in aging research concerns the demographic trajectories at the highest ages, especially for supercentenarians (persons aged 110 or more). We wish to demonstrate that the Weon model enables scientists to describe the demographic trajectories for supercentenarians. We evaluate the average survival data from the modern eight countries and the valid and complete data for supe...
متن کاملLife at the extreme limit: phenotypic characteristics of supercentenarians in Okinawa.
BACKGROUND As elite representatives of the rapidly increasing "oldest-old" population, centenarians have become an important model population for understanding human aging. However, as we are beginning to understand more about this important phenotype, another demographic group of even more elite survivors is emerging-so-called "supercentenarians" or those who survive 110-plus years. Little is ...
متن کاملSurvival of parents and siblings of supercentenarians.
BACKGROUND Given previous evidence of familial predisposition for longevity, we hypothesized that siblings and parents of supercentenarians (age >or= 110 years) were predisposed to survival to very old age and that, relative to their birth cohorts, their relative survival probabilities (RSPs) are even higher than what has been observed for the siblings of centenarians. METHODS Mean age at dea...
متن کاملNeuropathology of supercentenarians - four autopsy case studies
Supercentenarians (aged 110 years old or more) are extremely rare in the world population (the number of living supercentenarians is estimated as 47 in the world), and details about their neuropathological information are limited. Based on previous studies, centenarians (aged 100-109 years old) exhibit several types of neuropathological changes, such as Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body disease...
متن کاملValidated worldwide supercentenarians, living and recently deceased.
BY DEFINITION, a validated supercentenarian is a properly documented centenarian who has lived to be at least the age of 110 years. The tables reproduced below and various other tables of supercentenarians are regularly updated by Dr. Stephen Coles, one of the members of our Editorial Board, along with other members of the Los Angeles Gerontology Research Group (GRG). For further details, pleas...
