With the rapid increase in population longevity, more clinical attention is being paid to the overall health of long-lived people, especially centenarians. Subjective health, which is the perception o...
A total of 101 participants were enrolled from four different regions (Gurye, Gokseong, Sunchang, and Damyang), known as the Longevity Belt in Korea. Variables assessing physical and mental health, in...
Fifty-six participants (59.6%) were subjectively healthy among the centenarians and near-centenarians. Logistic regression analysis revealed that depressive mood was the only factor associated with su...
These findings emphasize the importance of mental health at very advanced ages. Because depressive mood negatively correlates with subjective health, more attention is needed to prevent and manage moo...
The global centenarian population has doubled each decade and is expected to continue growing. However, information regarding how they live, their health status, and care needs is limited....
This study aims to describe the total Swedish centenarian population in terms of health status, living arrangements, and socio-demographic characteristics....
This nationwide register-based study included all Swedish people reaching age 100 between 2013 and 2018. We analyzed their socio-demographic characteristics, living arrangements, number of prescribed ...
Of 5,882 centenarians (80.7% women), only 15.0% lived at home without formal care and 24.5% cohabited on their 100th birthday. Men (22.7%) were more likely than women (13.2%) to live at home without c...
Sweden's centenarian population is highly dependent on home care and care homes. Among the ones still living at home, the vast majority live alone and have low incomes. Strategies to manage health and...
The objective of this study is to analyze the association between sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep patterns, and depressive states among centenarians due to the crucial impact of depression on the...
The baseline data from the China Hainan Centenarians Cohort Study (CHCCS) served as the basis for this study. Questionnaire surveys were conducted to obtain research indicators, with depressive states...
A total of 994 centenarians, with an age range of 100-116 years and a mean age of 102.77 ± 2.75 years, were included in this study. Among these participants, 815 were female, accounting for 82.0 %. Af...
The findings of this study indicate that there is an association between poor sleep quality and depressive states in centenarians. Furthermore, both sleep quality and long/short total sleep duration a...

Twenty-two centenarians were enrolled, including seventeen women (77.3%). Thirteen centenarians lived in nursing homes (NH) and nine in private housing (PH). All were dependent for daily living activi...

Maintaining centenarians at home requires technical aids and intervention of several professional caregivers relying on family support....
We have shown before that at least one intracellular proteolytic system seems to be at least as abundant in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of centenarians as in the same cells of young individuals (...
Cytokines have been investigated extensively in elderly people, with conflicting results. We performed a comprehensive analysis of the plasma levels of 62 cytokines and growth factors involved in the ...
There are limited data on prevalence of dementia in centenarians and near-centenarians (C/NC), its determinants, and whether the risk of dementia continues to rise beyond 100....
Participant-level data were obtained from 18 community-based studies (N = 4427) in 11 countries that included individuals ≥95 years. A harmonization protocol was applied to cognitive and functional im...
The mean age was 98.3 years (SD = 2.67); 79% were women. After adjusting for age, sex, and education, dementia prevalence was 53.2% in women and 45.5% in men, with risk continuing to increase with age...
Among the exceptional old, dementia prevalence remains higher in the older participants. Education was protective against dementia, but other factors for dementia-free survival in C/NC remain to be un...
It is unclear to what degree centenarians are successful agers. We assess successful aging (SA) and its subtypes in a large Chinese sample....
Based on a large national sample of 18,311 Chinese centenarians, we first estimated the prevalence of SA among centenarians, and then used the Latent Class Analysis to classify centenarians into diffe...
5.7% of centenarians fulfilled all five criteria of SA, and 1.3% failed all five criteria. The remainder could be classified into six types of SA. The regression analysis further revealed that these S...
Centenarians demonstrate substantial heterogeneity in terms of achieving five SA criteria. Social factors are found to be significantly associated with centenarians' aging performances. Specific subty...
There is limited clinical data to guide treatment for elderly patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In the case of centenarians, there is almost no data for this age group. The diagnosis...
We present the case of a 102-year-old patient who was diagnosed with TNBC. Although our initial plan was observation, the tumor growth rate and the pain it caused resulted in us offering a right total...
Morbidity and mortality are higher in TNBC patients, and treatments are more limited, especially in elderly patients who may not be able to tolerate chemotherapy or surgery. As a result, management of...
