These Signs Prove You’ll Live to 100, Study Says

How do you know if you’ll live to be 100? That’s the question that researchers from Sweden asked themselves. And here’s the answer they found!

Almost everyone would like to live as long as possible. Enjoy every moment of life, grow old alongside those we love and remember all those memories engraved in us… What if it were possible to know in advance if we would live to 100 years old? This is the question Karin Modig associate professor at the Institute of Environmental Medicine at Karolinska Institutet, and her colleagues wanted to answer this question. To do so, they conducted a study, published in the journal Gero Science, and relayed by our colleagues from Top Health, which allows us to predict which of us has the most likely to become a centenarian.

We can find out if we will live to 100 years old according to a study

The researchers analyzed the files of 44,000 Swedes aged 64 to 99, who underwent health examinations between 1985 and 1996. A total of 1,224 of them lived to be 100 years old. But that’s not all. They also studied all the biomarkers associated with aging and disease. The result: centenarians were healthier than sexagenarians. To live to be 100, you need to have ten biomarkers out of the twelve examined. At least that’s what the study claims. “The results suggest that becoming very old is not just a matter of chance; it also appears to be related to lifestyle.” says Professor Karin Modig.

So there is no secret to living to 100 years old! It all depends on your lifestyle. A good sleep rhythm, a balanced diet rich in nutrients, stopping smoking… These elements are essential to preserve our health from diseases and thus see a better life expectancy. Still according to the Swedish study, there are four biomarkers which are essential to determine whether a person has a chance of becoming a centenarian or not.

The 4 biomarkers that suggest we will become centenarians

First, people who lived to be 100 years old had a creatinine level (key indicator of kidney function) normal at age 60. This was also the case for liver markers and uric acid levels a marker of inflammatory processes. Participants who a uric acid level (waste produced by the body) have a 4% chance of living to 100 years, unlike those with a higher rate (1.5% chance). Finally, centenarians have blood sugar levels rarely higher than 6.5 mmol/liter.
