Abstract

We haven't found or identified individual risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (smoking, drinking habit) and a later accession of other risk factors (arterial hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, anemia, hyperfibrinogenemia) in nonagenarians with different age-related diseases. This age group was characterized by comorbidity, delayed onset of the disease with fewer complications and some features of metabolism as compared to other age groups. These results enable us to consider longevity as possible model of successful aging.
