I watched your video interviewing 90 year olds
It was amazing
I am fascinated by your study, thank you, probably because I had 3 family members who lived into their nineties - my gran died at 95, my father at 92, and his sister (my aunt) is still alive at 95 ! What I remember about all 3 of them is their mental state of mind was still very good and they had a wonderful sense of humour, but a few memory lapses (which I think we all experience when we cant remember a name or date), but nothing that affected their communication skills. The one thing I remember as a child was that they were very sociable beings who always took an interest in other people and their welfare. My still living aunt loves people, socialising with strangers at the mall and has a wonderful sense of humour and who still remembers me, though we live 1000miles apart and only speak over the phone from time to time. My brother is 80 and I'm almost 72 and we still both enjoy a relatively healthy lifestyle, but I don't think I would want to live that long !
Pam. U should strive for 100 years old. Personally it is my number 1 life goal. Looks like u have a good chance to go along time. Good luck to u and your brother.
Wow! I WILL REACH THAT AGE AND STILL GOOD IN MY COGNITION HAAA. I AM 84 And I feel like in my 50’s .
Hi, I'm 78 doing pretty well. I have no medical conditions. I love my life.
I am 91 years old and still have my cognitive ability intact. My short term memory is getting bad, but otherwise, I'm fine. Lucky me.
Maybe these people did not take supplements because most of their life they ate good, natural, fresh, food. The food today , unless it’s organic, would not come close to providing the nutrients needed to be a centenarian. Just a thought.
Dr. Kawas, have you considered examining the gut microbiome of 90+ while alive and after death. This may give additional insight on why some are "resilient". The brain may not be the only organ to tell the full story.
Yes! And also inflammation.
by looking this old lady pic, I can see from her eyes with one thing, the curiosity, which could be the recipe of longevity.
I can't help wondering: People who had high blood pressure and cholesterol in the 1980's were found in the 2000's to have been "protected" against dementia by the high blood pressure and cholesterol. Could it be that those who had "good" blood pressure readings earlier because they were dutifully taking the meds actually got dementia as a side effect of taking those drugs? I've had noticeable side effects from those drugs and stopped taking them. But, if I took one that had no noticeable side effects, could I end up with dementia later as result of a hidden, undetected side effect?
oh goodie, living longer when over 80s... & for what exactly? Well to become a test subject & donating our brains, of course!
It's QUALITY of life that matters, not mere longevity!
They are living life to the fullest. They just want to be part of the study to help! It’s something they just do every 6 months. It’s not like it’s their day job.
Yes, thank YOU for saying that!!
was their jobs included in the study? i may have missed it
I think that your job makes a difference. My job was to teach others about new equipment, which in turn forced me to learn things on my own. This exercising of my brains, I think, contribute to my retention of my cognitive ability in my 90's.
It can happen! Nicotinamide riboside 👍

sorry anything that ferments poison the body
You need to study about saurkraut, kimchee, & wine. These are a few foods that have benefits of antioxidants.
@@mariannegill3033 But the side effects.
@@keepgodfirstministry2527 I'm curious, what side effects do they have? (Wine notwithstanding, but with sauerkraut, kimchee, cheese which if raw contains vitamin K2, Kefir, etc).
Thanks! :)
@@L.J.01 when things are uncooked they contain their own enzymes that aid the digestive process. I think a lot of people back then were fortunate to have good work ethics: they work physically hard and lived in a different environment. The food contained more nutrients. I agree that the above mention foods may contain K2 but the other properties will cause more harm than good
