Most of those who lived to be 100 years old had a blood sugar level of no more than 6.5 and a creatinine level of 125 in the first years of life.
Scientists analyzed the health data of 44,000 Swedes, after their lives for 35 years to find out which of them will live to be 100 years old. It turns out that 85% of those who reach this age are women, writes ScienceAlert.
The researchers looked at 12 specific markers in the blood, also called biomarkers. They allow us to judge different bodily functions. Specifically, inflammation, metabolism, liver and kidney conditions.
Some of these biomarkers have even been linked to the aging process in previous studies. The main finding of the latest scientific work on this is that those who celebrated their 100th birthday, starting at the age of sixty, tend to have the highest levels of three specific biomarkers: glucose (blood sugar), creatinine ( work-related stones) and uric acid (a byproduct of digestion). Most of those who lived to be 100 years old had a blood sugar level of no more than 6.5 in the first years of life, and a creatinine level of 125,” the study said.
Thus, it turns out that certain biomarkers are clearly associated with the chances of living up to 100 years. In particular, people with lower levels of total cholesterol and iron in their blood are more likely to live longer. Abnormal levels of glucose and creatinine in the liver negatively affect the number of people living.
We remind you that 88-year-old Shirley MacLaine revealed the secret of her long life, which was confirmed by scientists.
