Clinical Antiaging Medicine: Antiaging Medicine from the Perspective of Centenarian Research

As global aging progresses, achieving healthy longevity is becoming increasingly important for both individuals and society. Many centenarians live independently until their 90s and are considered models of healthy longevity.

Here, we will explain the population dynamics and medical biological characteristics of centenarians (for genetic characteristics, please refer Chap. 19 ).
