Centenarians represent an intriguing model for healthy aging. They appear to have adapted well to their lives and are likely to be influenced by previous lifestyle habits, and their life satisfaction is influenced by mental and psychological health.
The aim of this study is to explore centenarians' lifestyles by sex and their potential contribution to life satisfaction.
In order to examine the common characteristics of centenarians in Hainan and the potential differences between men and women, a cross-sectional survey was conducted with 223 cognitively-intact Chinese centenarians. We also explored the association between life satisfaction and other physical factors using binary logistic regression and principal component analysis.
The results provided supplementary evidence indicating that women tended to live longer than men. However, the difference in life satisfaction observed between the sexes was not obvious (p = 0.659). The proportion of physical factors between each sex showed a similar trend in distribution. Most centenarians' lifestyles were similar, in that they followed a light diet and did not smoke or drink alcohol. Centenarians in better physical condition and with higher self-assessment, as well as those with "alcohol and tobacco habits," were more satisfied with their life. Of the factors examined in the binary logistic regression, sleep satisfaction was the only factor significantly positively correlated with life satisfaction (p < .01).
The research findings elucidated physiological and psychological health in centenarians and provided a model of healthy aging strategies for reference purposes.
百岁老人是健康老龄化的一个有趣模型。他们似乎很好地适应了自己的生活，很可能受到以前生活习惯的影响，他们的生活满意度受到心理和心理健康的影响。
本研究旨在通过性别探讨百岁老人的生活方式及其对生活满意度的潜在贡献。
为了研究海南百岁老人的共同特征以及男女之间的潜在差异，采用横断面调查方法对 223 名认知正常的中国百岁老人进行了调查。我们还使用二项逻辑回归和主成分分析探讨了生活满意度与其他身体因素之间的关系。
结果提供了补充证据，表明女性的寿命往往长于男性。然而，两性之间的生活满意度差异并不明显（p=0.659）。各性别之间的身体因素比例分布趋势相似。大多数百岁老人的生活方式相似，他们饮食清淡，不吸烟或饮酒。身体状况较好、自我评价较高、有“烟酒习惯”的百岁老人对生活更满意。在二项逻辑回归中检查的因素中，睡眠满意度是唯一与生活满意度呈显著正相关的因素（p<.01）。
研究结果阐明了百岁老人的生理和心理健康，并为健康老龄化策略提供了参考模式。
