Story summary

The SWISS100 study in Switzerland, led by Professor Daniela Jopp, analyzes longevity among the roughly 0.02% who live beyond 100 years.
Researchers analyzed 724 proteins in blood serum and identified 37 with significant links to longevity.
The study finds that metabolic health, regulated by proteins such as DPP-4, helps prevent hyperinsulinism.
It also identifies five proteins linked to oxidative stress, highlighting inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction in aging.
