Interesting. I wonder if other countries have more centenarians? I read this in the NYT this weekend: despite spending the highest percentage of its G.D.P. on health care among O.E.C.D. nations, the United States has a life expectancy years lower than comparable nations—the U.K. and Canada— and a rate of preventable death far higher.
My Grandmother lived to be 100 and Grandfather 99. Both had a Mediterranean diet for the most part. My other grandparents 97 and 89 still old. My parents only 63 and 74. So there is no guarantee in life
I enjoy reading Dr Perls advice. I have done the test on his site and currently I am aiming for is 103. I also believe in inherited genes as well as habits. I wrote about my inherited habits last week: https://robyneveringham.substack.com/p/a-legacy-of-habits

Grandma Kay is a sterling example of living well.
Thanks, Phil. That means a lot!
Thanks Cherie! About two years. 😊

Very interesting, Kevin. How long has Grandma Kay been part of the study?
I've wondered about these statistics, but I just hope we aren't outliving our welcome! Nice summary here of the varied reasons we seem to last!
Thanks! Liz
