On February 2, 2024, The Washington Post featured AFAR SuperAgers Family Study participant Madeline Paldo in an article sharing wisdom from individuals around the world who are aged 100 and older. The Study is also credited.
Ms. Paldo emphasizes the importance of social interaction and friendship. “Enjoy your friends while you have them,” she said. “I’ve lost a few through the years but the ones I’ve got, I cherish.”
Ms. Paldo and her son and daughter in-law are enrolled in AFAR’s SuperAgers Family Study. 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.
