本研究的目的是描述一个样本的相对功能和健康的希腊百岁老人的健康状况，并在探索潜在的性别差异，在这个样本中的健康。其目标是增加关于百岁老人健康状况的知识积累，从而有助于探索健康长寿的机制。这项研究采用了一个非代表性的希腊百岁老人的性别（N = 47）的社区样本。它使用描述性统计来概述参与者的健康状况，并使用非参数检验来评估观察到的性别差异的统计学意义。研究表明，我们样本中的百岁老人相对健康和功能正常（15%的样本没有任何重大慢性疾病）。它还表明，生存率的性别差异具有统计学意义（p
The present study aims at describing the health status of a sample of relatively functional and healthy Greek centenarians and at exploring the potential gender differences in health in this sample. Its objectives are to add to the accumulation of knowledge about the health status of centenarians and therefore to contribute to the exploration of the mechanisms of healthy longevity. The study employs a non-representative community sample of Greek centenarians of both sexes (N = 47). It uses descriptive statistics in order to outline the health status of the participants and non-parametric tests to assess the statistical significance of the observed sex-differences. The study shows that the centenarians of our sample are relatively healthy and functional (15% of the sample was free of any major chronic disease). It also suggests, that the sex-difference in survival is statistical significant (p
