"Milton didn't enter the pantheon of supercentenarians because death surprised him in his sleep after a life that included coffee and a whiskey every morning."
"Brazil is home to a significant number of centenarians (more than 37,000), despite being a developing country, far from longevity champions like Japan, the United States, or Mediterranean countries."
"The research in search of the keys to healthy aging, reviewed in January in the journal Genomic Psychiatry, has focused on this molecular biologist considered one of the great Brazilian specialists in muscular dystrophies."
"We just took samples from a 111-year-old man, the geneticist says, looking pleased."
Milton celebrated his 108th birthday with 40 friends, acknowledging their influence on his life. Brazilian geneticist Mayana Zatz coordinates a study on centenarians at the University of Sao Paulo. The research focuses on healthy aging and muscular dystrophies. Brazil has over 37,000 centenarians, with notable supercentenarians like Joao Marino Neto, the oldest man at 113. The study aims to understand genetic factors contributing to longevity and seeks more volunteers for research.
