New England Centenarian Study

The New England Centenarian Study is a group of special scientists who want to know more about people who have lived for more than 100 years. They study people who have aged really well and try to figure out what makes them so special.

They talk to these special people and ask them about their lives, their health, what they eat, and how they stay active. They want to know what things they do that keep them healthy and help them live longer. They also study their genes or DNA, which is like a map that tells our body how to grow and work properly.

The scientists hope that by studying these people, they can find out what we can all do to live longer and stay healthier. They want to make sure that we all have better chances of living a happy and healthy life by learning from these special people.
