RE: Traits of Supercentenarians - What They have in Common [Research]
That's interesting - if not entirely surprising - that they would be free from many of the diseases other succumb to. But I wonder whether there are controllablr characteristics they might have shared that got them to their incredible good health. (Though my instinct screams "chance!")
I'd say there are underlying genetic characteristics that come to their help. In terms of lifestyle, they are all over the place, some even smoke until the end of their lives, so yes, 'chance' is a good descriptor for an aspect of it.
