The glucose level of 6.5 mmol/L = 117 mg/dL The creatinine level of 125 umol/L = 1.41 mg/dL
They also didn’t tend to have low cholesterol or iron and did not tend to have higher uric acid values.
They missed ‘whiskey’.
God bless you if it’s your goal to make 100+. But from what I’ve observed, the 90s are typically a pretty damned rough decade for most of those who make it there.
I laugh at the ‘experts’.

Wait, higher total cholesterol and Iron are good? Dang, that’s the opposite of what I’ve heard.
Iron important in red blood cells oxygen capabilities.
One attribute they missed in their study was “spiked proteins.”
Inversely related to life expectancy.
And for how many decades have we been told that high cholesterol is bad?????
Mr mm's grandmother lived into her mid 90's and her cholesterol was around 350.
Seeing my parents in their nineties, (dad fell, hit his head and died at 95. Mom is 94}, I figure 85 is good enough. Both had dementia.
“The people in the lowest out of five groups for levels of total cholesterol and iron had a lower chance of reaching 100 years”
My mother in law from a moonshine family died at 101 not from any illness but from ‘rona isolation. Never dieted or exercised in her life.
My mother died just weeks shy of 101 from a stroke which was the first major health event in her life. She was mentally sharp until near the end. We attributed her good health to regular walks, exercise (even doing curls with soup cans), her interest in other people, mental stimulation provided by lifelong bridge games and Scrabble, and her faith.

I vaguely recall a study that was done years ago (in the 90s) that looked at centenarians that were all still healthy both physically and mentally and would be classified as ‘quite active’. There were a few physical aspects and medical characteristics amongst the group that seem to sort of point to common denominators but there was one that stood out above all.... every single one of them had a strong sense of purpose and strong desire to get out of bed every morning to get on with his/her purpose in life.
Based on my observations of many people, I think this study had it about exactly right. And if that purpose is centered around making sure that as many lost as possible come to Christ and join you in the hereafter, that’s the greatest purpose of all.
From seeing most Centenarians, it's a sad life. You're in a body deteriorated by age, all your friends are dead, your children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren may be complete douchebags, you're completely at the mercy of your caregiver, and you often have some form of dementia.
Turn to God in gratitude. Live the life the Lord God has given you and be happy with it.
Sadly, they missed asking about chocolate. I plan to live a couple hundred years on that.
bump for later
Good info.
Thanks.
