Researchers analyzing 125 older adults from the region known for its high life expectancy identified these shared characteristics among centenarians, highlighting how mental well-being and active lifestyles contribute to a long life.

According to the research from Sardinia, individuals who live past 100 years tend to be open to new experiences, highly resilient against daily hardships, and adept at managing their emotions. Researchers noted that these resilient centenarians maintain active routines both mentally and physically. For example, 98-year-old Davi cooks on a wood-burning stove every morning, reads newspapers daily, and drives his truck, attributing his long life to living without stress. Investigators emphasize that these behavioral patterns support healthy aging, echoing the sentiment that an optimistic personality encourages diverse activities and frequent socialization.
