(10 authors) (Exp Gerontol, 2014-09)Gene variants found to associate with human longevity in one population rarely replicate in other populations. The lack of consistent findings may partly be explained by genetic heterogeneity among long-lived individuals ... -

Increased effect of the ApoE gene on survival at advanced age in healthy and long-lived Danes: two nationwide cohort studies.
Jacobsen, Rune; Martinussen, Torben; Christiansen, Lene; Jeune, Bernard; Andersen-Ranberg, Karen; Vaupel, James W; Christensen, Kaare (Aging Cell, 2010-12)Studies of Nordic twins suggest an increased genetic influence on mortality with age. Contrary to this, the heterogeneity hypothesis predicts that the mortality of individuals carrying a 'frail' or 'risky' genotype in a ... -
[More people live to be very old and with a better functioning].
Christensen, Kaare; Jeune, Bernard; Andersen-Ranberg, Karen; Vaupel, James W (Ugeskr Laeger, 2013-10-07)Death rates for 80+-year-olds are now half of what they were after WWII. The chance of living past 90 years has gone up by roughly 30% per decade for people born in Denmark in 1895, 1905, and 1915 - and the later cohorts ... -
Optimism and survival: does an optimistic outlook predict better survival at advanced ages? A twelve-year follow-up of Danish nonagenarians.
Engberg, Henriette; Jeune, Bernard; Andersen-Ranberg, Karen; Martinussen, Torben; Vaupel, James W; Christensen, Kaare (Aging Clin Exp Res, 2013-10)BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Studies examining predictors of survival among the oldest-old have primarily focused on objective measures, such as physical function and health status. Only a few studies have examined the effect of ... -
Physical and cognitive functioning of people older than 90 years: a comparison of two Danish cohorts born 10 years apart.
Christensen, Kaare; Thinggaard, Mikael; Oksuzyan, Anna; Steenstrup, Troels; Andersen-Ranberg, Karen; Jeune, Bernard; McGue, Matt; ... (8 authors) (Lancet, 2013-11-02)BACKGROUND: A rapidly increasing proportion of people in high-income countries are surviving into their tenth decade. Concern is widespread that the basis for this development is the survival of frail and disabled elderly ...
