Key takeaways
- Distinct biomarker profiles: Centenarians exhibit unique patterns in their blood tests, suggesting that certain physiological characteristics are associated with extreme longevity
- Predictive indicators: The presence of these biomarkers in individuals may help forecast their potential to live to an advanced age, providing a tool for early identification of long-lived individuals
- Biological ageing insights: Analysing these biomarker differences enhances our understanding of the ageing process, potentially uncovering mechanisms that could be targeted to extend healthy lifespan
