This study presents initial findings of a new ongoing research project aimed to identify important predictors and mechanisms of exceptional human longevity. For this purpose the detailed data on long-lived people surviving to 100 years in the Unites States are collected, validated, and analyzed. The study found that being born to a young mother is an important predictor of person's longevity. The study also found that the "stout" body build at age 30 years (being in the heaviest 15% of population) significantly decreases chances of survival to 100 years. These findings demonstrate that early-life and mid-life personal characteristics play an important role in human longevity.
本研究报告介绍了一个正在进行的新研究项目的初步研究结果,该项目旨在确定人类超长寿命的重要预测因素和机制。为此,收集、验证和分析了美国长寿人群活到 100 岁的详细数据。研究发现,一个人如果是年轻母亲所生,那么他长寿的可能性就会增加。研究还发现,30 岁时的“粗壮”体型(属于人群中最重的 15%)会显著降低活到 100 岁的几率。这些发现表明,人的生命早期和中期的个人特征在人类的长寿中起着重要作用。
