Centenarians Have an Immunity That Leads to Longer Lives: Study
How can one live a long and happy life? Humans have thought carefully about this age-old suggestion for a very long time. According to recent research, people who live to be 100 and older( termed centenarians ) may have a unique genetic makeup in their immune cells that makes them less prone to disease as they age( via HealthDay ), even though increased susceptibility to illness is not regarded as abnormal as we age.

The single-cell beauty of immune cell in the heart of seven people with an average age of 106 was examined by experts from a recent 2023 study that was published in The Lancet. They compared their hereditary makeup to that of more than 50 people between the ages of 20 and 89 as well as seven opposite population. Through public data containing the patients’ single-cell genomic sequencing, they were able to obtain this comparison information.
The study participants’ defensive mobile information did not appear to had undergone the common aging-related changes, according to the research findings. According to Medical News Today, for many people, it’s’s these natural alterations that frequently cause a gradual defensive system decline in older age.
Centenarians Showed Increased Immune Resilience

Dr. Stefano Monti, a co-researcher on the study, said,” What we essentially found is that population manifest the history of exposure to natural economic immunogens that made them more resilient and more repellent to potential dangerous things.” Additionally, the research team discovered that one specific gene’s’s increased articulation, which is linked to the ability to fight off DNA damage, is a factor in longevity.
Some experts claim that there are too many confounding factors that contribute to longevity, making it difficult to isolate cause, despite the fact that the research may possibly shed some light on one factor that may help to prolong lifespan. This may cover things like a family’s’s health history, healthy eating habits, and more.
However, many experts are encouraged by the results and say that they may help shape future therapies so that patients can enjoy many more years to come. In response to the study findings, senior director of the National Council on Aging’s’s Center for Healthy AgING, Kathleen Cameron, said,” If we can figure out what causes this immunological resilience in people who live over 100, that could lead to treatments that can help people live longer.”
