Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Demography

Context:

  • Italy's population is aging, with a notable increase in the very old.
  • Nationwide data shows a growing number of centenarians.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the demographic profile of individuals aged 100 and over in Milan.
  • To understand the characteristics of the very old population in a major Italian city.

Summary:

  • A study of Milan's centenarian population (159 individuals) and those over 100 (166 individuals) in 1992 revealed key demographic traits.

Impact:

  • Confirms national trends of a rapidly growing very old population.
  • Provides specific insights into the demographics of centenarians in urban Italy.
