Brazilian supercentenarians are revealing genetic secrets to extreme longevity, defying expectations of healthy lifestyles.
Scientists are studying over 160 centenarians, including 20 supercentenarians, to understand how they reach advanced ages despite limited access to healthcare. Early findings suggest genetic diversity, not diet or exercise, may be key.
The DNA Longevo study highlights Brazil's mixed ancestry, offering a unique perspective compared to more homogeneous populations studied previously.
