The number of centenarians is increasing, and researchers are beginning to uncover the secrets behind longevity. Centenarians, defined as individuals who live to be 100 years old, are now a rapidly growing demographic group. Karin Modig, professor of epidemiology at the Karolinska Institute, notes in The Conversation that their numbers have doubled approximately every 10 years since the 1970s.

This represents a significant shift, as centenarians were once considered a rare occurrence. The increasing prevalence of longevity is prompting ongoing investigation into the factors contributing to exceptional lifespan.
