People who live to 100 all share a ‘superhuman’ ability, scientists discover… could YOU be one of them?

According to the new study, people living in 100 seem to have ‘superhuman’ ability to avoid major diseases.

The two major studies of elderly adults in Sweden have found that centuries tend to develop less illnesses and accumulate them more slowly, and in most cases, despite the fact that they lived much longer than their peers, they completely avoid the most deadly conditions.

The study, published by an international research team, argues that extraordinary long life is linked to a different aging model, where the disease is delayed or even completely prevented.

Findings are challenging a widespread belief that a longer life has inevitably comes with bad health for many years.

The researchers analyzed the health records of decimal health to compare people who have reached 100 with those born in the same years.

They looked at the timing and the number of diagnoses for a wide range of conditions from stroke and heart attacks to cancers and neurological disease, and found that centuries were better in survival or completely avoided.

The first study examined the health records of 170,787 people born in Stockholm district between 1912-1922.

Participants were watched until the age of 40 – either from 60 to death or to the age of 100.

The Analysis not only has lower disease rates in late-middle life, but showed that they have protected this advantage throughout their lives.

For example, at the age of 85, only four percent of those who were 100 years old experienced a stroke.

Among those who died between the ages of 90 and 99, the figure was around 10 percent.

Similarly, by the age of 100, only 12.5 percent of the centuries had a heart attack compared to more than 24 percent of those who died in the 80s.

Researchers say that it shows that they have not survived better than others – that they have avoided longer and sometimes completely.

However, this study, published in August last year, focused on more serious diagnoses of major diseases.

In order to investigate whether the key to the key of the longevity can be applied in avoiding less serious conditions, the team carried out a second study published this month.

This analysis contained 40 different medical problems such as hypertension, heart failure, diabetes and heart attack.

The researchers examined the records of 274,108 people who were born between 1920 and 1922 and followed them for about 30 years – 70 years of death or until they were 100 years old.

Only 4,330 participants – opened the age of 1.5 – 100 percent.

Even when a wider range of states were included, the findings were consistent: Centenarans generally developed less disease, and the accumulation of disease was slower throughout their lives.

Cardiovascular disease recognized the most common in all age groups, but was significantly less common in its centers.

80 -year -old, 85 -year -old died more than 15 percent compared to 8 percent of cardiovascular disease was diagnosed.

Lower cardiovascular disease rates appeared at the center of expanded survival.

Centenarans also showed more durability on neuropsychiatric situations such as depression and dementia throughout life.

While most of the centenary years ultimately develop more than one health, this usually occurred without a sharp health decrease seen in those who were usually beyond the age of 89 years old-and in their last years.

On the contrary, those who were not centuries typically experienced a steep increase in the number of health problems in the last years of their lives.

This model was not even observed in the 90s of those who reached 100 more slow and gradual health decline.

Professor Karin Modig, the best epidemiyologist of Karolinska Institutet, said: ‘My research team found that people who are 100 years old have the ability to avoid superhuman illness.

‘Centuries are great for scientists, because they can hold the key to understanding how we can live longer and to understand that we can live longer in health.

‘Centenarians have managed to delay and in some cases, despite longer living, avoidance of illness is both interesting and encouraging.

‘It shows that it is possible to age slower than the typical one, and forces the common belief that a longer life inevitably comes with more illnesses.’

The causes of this flexibility remain uncertain. Genetic advantages can be healthy lifestyle habits, environmental factors, or a combination of three.

The team is now planning to investigate which factors are the most important and how it affects health throughout life.
