Summary

Anaemia is common in centenarians, particularly women. Severe anaemia appears to eliminate women from the oldest age groups, suggesting it

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Haematology: Investigating physiological aging mechanisms through blood parameters.

Context:

  • Centenarians represent a unique cohort for studying aging.
  • The Polish Centenarians Program provided the framework for this research.

Purpose:

  • To characterize haematological indices in centenarian subjects.
  • To identify age-related changes and prevalence of anaemia in extreme longevity.

Summary:

  • Haematological parameters were analyzed in 89 centenarians (14 males, 75 females).
  • While most parameters were normal, anaemia was more frequent in females (57.1%) than males (29.1%).
  • Severe anaemia was observed in younger centenarian women, but absent in the oldest, suggesting an 'eliminating factor'.

Impact:

  • Highlights anaemia as a significant issue in extreme old age.
