This book explores various aspects related to human longevity and aging beyond 100 years old.

It examines all domains of health and well-being of this elite group including the current demographics, genetics and epigenetics of exceptional longevity, cardiovascular risk factors, dementia, nutrition, physical activity, African American and Hispanic centenarians, financial planning, religion, spirituality, whole health, wellness, oral health, and nature.

The book also delves into the lives of supercentenarians, defined as expert survivors who have lived beyond 110 years old.
