In a stunning breakthrough, researchers have identified 10 specific blood “markers” that separate centenarians from those who die earlier, allowing them to predict who’s more likely to reach 100 years.
Once considered medical marvels, centenarians are no longer as rare as they once were. In fact, the venerable population – people 100+ years – now represents the fastest-growing age group globally, with their numbers roughly doubling every decade since the 1970s.
And a groundbreaking long-term study from Sweden may have the answers.
