Description
Yasuyuki Gondo and Xinyu Zhang report on the health of people aged 100 and over in Kyotango, Japan, in a 2023 study. The city cohort began in 2014 and invites each new group of centenarians every year.
About 40 new centenarians are invited yearly, and roughly 80 percent take part by mail or in person. The number of women reaching 100 rose over the eight years, from 31 to 42, while men held near ten. Care needs showed no clear improvement across cohorts. Thinking skills, though, trended upward among men and not among women. The authors suggest women may survive in frailer states, which could mask gains, and they call for work on the reasons.
