Interesting article about who lives to 100, and how come:

https://www.realclearscience.com/2024/10/14/why_bryan_johnson_probably_wont_live_to_100_1064854.html

Also noted: a lot of the world's hot spots for centenarians are really just places with poor record keeping, and old folks making claims without a birth certificate. And a lot of families don't report a death so they can keep collecting the person's pension. I know this happens a lot in the United States, along with other countries as well.
