Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are residents of Navarre who are 100 years or older and in stable health without recent acute illness or hospitalization.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with active clinical decompensation, acute illness, or imminent end-of-life status may not benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This is an observational cohort study enrolling individuals aged 100 and older who reside in Navarre, Spain. It will collect clinical assessments, functional and cognitive measurements, and biological markers to explore how genetics, epigenetics, environment, and lifestyle contribute to extreme longevity. The goal is to identify determinants of healthy aging and to understand aging mechanisms in a real-world population. Data integration will combine biomedical data with lifestyle and environmental information to build a multi-dimensional view of aging trajectories. Results may inform strategies to promote healthy aging in the broader population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Findings could help identify factors that promote healthy aging and longevity, informing strategies to improve quality of life for older adults.
How similar studies have gone: Centenarian studies have provided insights into longevity, though intergenerational and multi-omics approaches remain an evolving area.
