Centenarian quality of life

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Less stress seems to be a feature of centenarians in the not pdf-available below

paper.

Dello Buono M, Urciuoli O, De Leo D.

Quality of life and longevity: a study of centenarians.

Age Ageing. 1998 Mar;27(2):207-16.

PMID: 16296681

The centenarians complained less spontaneously about their health ... but

declared

having greater functional disability. Their cognitive function appears to be

reasonably well preserved and they have lower scores for anxiety and depression

than

the subjects in the two younger groups. They consider themselves religious,

satisfied with their financial situation but no longer interested in sex or

involved

in recreational activities. They report greater satisfaction with life and with

social and family relations than do less elderly individuals. ... The

centenarians

we interviewed seem to be well adapted to their lives and to maintain a more

positive attitude than the subjects in the two younger groups.
