A typical life in an industrialized country is now about 80 years long—three decades longer than it was a century ago. In contrast, life expectancy in sub-Saharan Africa is a mere 53 years. Infant health worldwide has generally improved; the global gap persists largely due to gains in seniors’ health in developed countries. Earlier diagnoses of illnesses, and more accessible buildings have helped improved late-life comfort and mobility. How best to join the one hundred-plus club? There’s no single answer. But most studies of centenarians show that if you’re a woman, a nonsmoker, wealthy or slim, you’re off to a good start. —— end ——
