They found that roughly two-thirds of them had avoided significant age-related ailments. -Overall, the men were functioning better than the women. Nearly three-fourths of the male survivors could bathe and dress themselves, while only about one-third of the women could. -The researchers think that may be because the men had to be in exceptional condition to reach 100. "Women, on the other hand, may be better physically and socially adept at living with

chronic and often disabling conditions,"
