BackgroundA recent study suggested that the protective effect of familial longevity becomes negligible for centenarians. However, the authors assessed the dependence on familial longevity in centenarians by comparing centenarians with 1 parent surviving to age 80+ to centenarians whose same-sexed parent did not survive to age 80. Here we test whether the protective effect of familial longevity persists after age 100 using more restrictive definitions of long-lived families.MethodsLong-lived sibships were identified through 3 nationwide, consecutive studies in Denmark, including families with either at least 2 siblings aged 90+ or a Family Longevity Selection Score (FLoSS) above 7. Long-lived siblings enrolled in these studies and who reached age 100 were included. For each sibling, 5 controls matched on sex and year of birth were randomly selected among centenarians in the Danish population. Survival time from age 100 was described with Kaplan–Meier curves for siblings and controls separately. Survival analyses were performed using stratified Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsA total of 340 individuals from long-lived sibships who survived to age 100 and 1 700 controls were included. Among the long-lived siblings and controls, 1 650 (81%) were women. The results showed that long-lived siblings presented better overall survival after age 100 than sporadic long-livers (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.71–0.91), with even lower estimate (HR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.50–0.85) if familial longevity was defined by FLoSS.ConclusionsThe present study, with virtually no loss to follow-up, demonstrated a persistence of protective effect of familial longevity after age 100.
