Centenarians are a segment of the population that exhibits extreme longevity and is rising exponentially, with expectations of becoming the age group with the highest growth rate in the coming decades. Their longevity seems to be accompanied by a lower number of comorbidities and a better quality of life; that´s why some studies propose them as models of healthy aging.
The International Congress “Centenarians: Models of healthy aging” that will be held on San Sebastian (Spain) next May 2020 will discuss the characteristics of this population group focusing on multidimensional research in centenarians including demographic, epidemiological, clinical, functional, psychosocial and biological aspects.
