Living to 100

by Elizabeth on February 17th, 2008

While everyone might not want to live to age 100, there is a certain fascination with people who do live that long, and, longer.

The question on everyone’s mind is, “How did you do it?”

Along with genetic blessing, a common answer to the key to longevity question is “healthy living”.

Now, it looks like the key to reaching the century mark may be more than healthy living, maintaining independence might be another essential component.

People with age related diseases can still live long lives, but, staving off disability related to those diseases is associated with living longer, as disease doesn’t always have to equal disability.
