Supercentenarians and the immunobiome
Victor Björk
Supercentenarians are people living to 110 or more, less than 1% of them live to 116. Mortality is often due to declining function of the immune system resulting in pneumonia or infectious disease. More and more research point to inflammaging and the microbiome as being a factor in extreme longevity.
