Longevity is a complex process resulting from genetic and environmental factors, as well as their interaction. These factors are poorly understood, and the comparison among health status, socio-economics, demographic and other characteristics of the elderly people can help in understanding these complex interactions. Such an interdisciplinary approach is necessary to allow an appropriate evaluation of longevity. Here we report the methodology and the first results of a representative study performed in 2003-2004 on people of 70 years and over, living in a typical town of North-East of Italy. In the research we collected biomedical, demographic, socio-economic and quality of life (QoL) data.
长寿是一个由遗传和环境因素及其相互作用导致的复杂过程。这些因素目前还知之甚少，而对老年人的健康状况、社会经济、人口统计学及其他特征进行比较，有助于理解这些复杂的相互作用。这种跨学科方法对于对长寿进行恰当评估是必要的。在此，我们报告在2003年至2004年对居住在意大利东北部一个典型城镇的70岁及以上人群进行的一项代表性研究的方法和初步结果。在这项研究中，我们收集了生物医学、人口统计学、社会经济和生活质量（QoL）数据。
