A long-term Swedish study tracking thousands of people over more than three decades has identified blood biomarkers associated with an increased likelihood of living to 100 years, showing that individuals who became centenarians tended to have higher total cholesterol and iron levels alongside lower glucose compared with peers who died younger.
The research, based on data from the Swedish AMORIS cohort with follow-up up to 35 years, found that higher total cholesterol was among several favourable biomarker profiles more common in those who reached age 100, suggesting that these factors measured earlier in life may be linked with exceptional longevity. The study’s findings are published in the journal GeroScience.
