The Georgia Centenarian Study (1988-2006) is a study of longevity and survival of the oldest old. An unprecedented number of elders in the coming decades will face the risks of disease, frailty, and dependence. The population at highest risk is the oldest of the old who are increasing at the fastest rate among those who are 65 years and older.
