On December 8th, 2024, The Washington Post published an article focusing on exceptional longevity and SuperAgers. AFAR SuperAgers Family Study Principal Investigator Sofiya Milman, MD, MS, provided insights into factors that could influence SuperAgers’ longevity. Along with genetics, Dr. Milman highlighted how resilience and positive attitudes could impact who will thrive well into their 100s.
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.
