New insights from study of people age 90 and above
Dr. Claudia Kawas
Over the next 30 years, the number of Americans age 90 and above is expected to triple, and an NIH-funded research study called 90+ at the University of California, Irvine is trying to learn all it can right now from a group of men and women who’ve already managed to get there. … Neurologist Claudia Kawas, [medical school professor], the 90+ Study’s lead investigator, says studying the oldest old is increasingly important. …”Half of all children born today in the United States and Europe is going to reach their 103rd or 104th birthday,” says Kawas.
