It's not inevitable that we will become disabled and sick as we get older. What we're learning from these unique individuals is that it is biologically plausible for us to live long and healthy... Once we know what causes longevity, that it's not a disease, we can then create therapies that will promote that biological longevity, and ultimately, that's the goal of what we're doing.
According to the SuperAgers Family Study funded by the American Federation for Aging Research, anyone over 95 years old who has a healthy cognitive capacity and the capabilities to consent to the study is considered a SuperAger... Those in this category may also have the biological signs of cognitive decline but are resilient to actual cognition changes.
