Australia has an ageing society. Individuals over the age of 95 years are the fastest growing proportion of this population. Many of these individuals retain good cognitive function. The Sydney Centenarian Study will recruit all individuals 95 and over in 7 local government areas in Sydney to assess their brain function to determine which cognitive faculties are more or less affected, and how this relates to changes on brain scans. This will be related to neuropathology.

澳大利亚有一个老龄化的社会。95岁以上的人是这一人群中增长最快的比例。这些人中的许多人都保留了良好的认知功能。悉尼百岁老人研究将在悉尼7个地方政府地区招募所有95岁及以上的人来评估他们的大脑功能，以确定哪些认知能力受到或多或少的影响，以及这与脑部扫描结果的变化有何关系。这将与神经病理学有关。
