On November 2nd, 2024, the San Francisco Chronicle published an article highlighting AFAR SuperAgers Family Study participants Charlotte Goode, Dorothy Black, and Alice Pickard and featured insights from the study’s principal investigator Sofiya Milman, MD, MS.
The three SuperAgers each shared their reasons for joining this study and the habits they believe may have contributed to their longevity.
Dr. Milman emphasized the study’s impact on future therapeutics to extend healthspan and treat age-related diseases.
The SuperAgers Family Study, led by AFAR in collaboration with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Boston University School of Medicine, aims to collect data from a large group of individuals who have lived to age 95 or more. The Study's goal is to understand and uncover the biological factors contributing to healthy aging and exceptional longevity shared among SuperAgers and their families.
