What can we LEARN FOR OUR HEALTH from people who live 100 years or more?

In this episode, we discuss the results of a paper that analyzes the health characteristics of people who live longer and healthier lives. Our guests, Dr. Karin Modig, PhD, and Dr. Shunsuke Murata, researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, explain their findings. Dr. Modig's main research focuses on comprehensively elucidating the determinants of increased longevity and assessing the quality of extended lifespan. Dr. Murata's research focuses on the prevention and management of disease and disability in older adults.
