Abstract

Martinique has recently been described as one of the world's five "Blue Zones" of longevity, while the status of Guadeloupe remains to be established. This study described the observed proportion and clinical and geriatric profiles of centenarians living in sampled long-term care settings in Martinique and Guadeloupe. Data from two observational cohorts of nursing home (n = 332) and foster family residents (n = 107) were pooled. Among 439 participants, 13 (3.0%) were centenarians (mean age 102.1 ± 2.4 years; 76.9% women). Compared with younger residents (mean age 80.8 ± 9.8 years), centenarians had similar prevalences of major comorbidities and polypharmacy, but greater functional impairment and poorer physical performance. One-year mortality was higher among centenarians (58.3% vs. 21.4%; p = 0.002). In long-term care settings, exceptional longevity was characterized by greater functional impairment and mortality without a greater burden of major chronic diseases.

马提尼克岛和邻近的瓜德罗普岛（法属加勒比群岛）长期护理机构中百岁老人的临床和老年病学概况。

马提尼克岛最近被描述为世界上五个长寿“蓝色地带”之一，而瓜德罗普岛的地位仍有待确立。本研究描述了在马提尼克岛和瓜德罗普岛取样长期护理机构中观察到的百岁老人的比例、临床和老年特征。来自养老院（n = 332）和寄养家庭居民（n = 107）两个观察队列的数据被汇总。439名参与者中，13名（3.0%）为百岁老人（平均年龄102.1±2.4岁，76.9%为女性）。与年轻居民（平均年龄80.8±9.8岁）相比，百岁老人主要合并症和多种药物的患病率相似，但功能损害更大，身体表现更差。百岁老人一年死亡率较高（58.3%比21.4%,p = 0.002）。在长期护理环境中，超常长寿的特点是更大的功能损伤和死亡率，而没有更大的主要慢性疾病负担。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
