- Centenarians often carry the same disease-causing genes as everyone else, but their bodies have developed protective mechanisms that neutralize these genetic risks.
- Environmental factors like diet, exercise, and stress management account for about 50% of longevity, while genetics only explains about 25% of the difference.
- Centenarians experience “compression of morbidity”—they stay healthy for most of their lives and only become seriously ill in their final years, unlike typical aging where diseases accumulate over decades.
