“…3) [19]. Higher levels of optimism have been associated with fewer chronic diseases and premature death [20]. The link between optimism and survival was confirmed in a representative community sample of adults 85 years old (n = 1,096) and 90 years old (n = 533) from the Jerusalem Longitudinal Study (1990-2020) [21].…”

This research aims to examine cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of positive subjective well-being among centenarians and near-centenarians in the Health and Retirement Study. Participants who eventually survived to age 98 or older (N = 516) were included. Study variables included demographic characteristics, health and activities of daily living (ADL) functioning, cognitive functioning, and positive well-being. Additionally, a smaller subsample (n = 192) of participants with supplemental leave-behind questionnaire (LBQ) data, some of whom (n = 30) were assessed across three comparative time points, were included to examine psychological well-being variables over time. In the full sample, approximately 86% and 81% of participants over or near the age of 100 reported enjoying their lives and being happy, respectively. Also in the full sample, better self-rated health (SRH) was associated with greater happiness/enjoyment. Results with the LBQ subsample (n = 192) identified that a) greater life satisfaction related to better SRH, b) better cognitive functioning related to greater optimism and purpose in life, and c) more educated and non-White participants tended to have greater purpose in life. Finally, for the longitudinal subsample, life satisfaction increased significantly while purpose in life decreased significantly as participants neared age 100. Implications for this study include a greater focus on developing interventions geared toward improving psychological well-being; specifically, increasing purpose in life and optimism, as well as focusing on improving happiness and life enjoyment.

“…A pandemia levou os governos a adotarem medidas drásticas e imediatas de saúde pública para minimizar seus efeitos (Barron et al 2022). Este momento revelou que as questões relacionadas à longevidade e expectativa de vida tornaram-se ainda mais urgentes (Zatz et al, 2022).…”

A proporção de pessoas com mais de 60 anos no mundo aumentará para 1 em cada 6 pessoas até 2050, enquanto a expectativa de vida tem aumentado para 90% em países com maior expectativa de vida. A pandemia de COVID-19 revelou a urgência das questões relacionadas à longevidade. Durante o isolamento social, as tecnologias digitais tornaram-se grandes aliadas da população idosa, ajudando a minimizar a solidão dos idosos e oferecendo-lhes mais atenção e cuidado. A fase da velhice apresenta desafios únicos para os idosos, como a possibilidade de vida solitária, perda de entes queridos e falta de rede de apoio, que podem torná-los vulneráveis. A tecnologia pode ser uma ferramenta de ajuda, mas muitos idosos têm dificuldades para compreender e usar essas tecnologias, o que pode levar à desigualdade e ao isolamento. A falta de habilidade e acesso à tecnologia também pode limitar sua capacidade de manter contato com a sociedade de forma independente. Assim, este trabalho objetiva analisar e discutir alguns aspectos da aplicação do projeto EnvelheSer, um projeto que visa proporcionar a inclusão digital às pessoas idosas. Desse modo, foi visto que os idosos necessitam de mais oportunidades e que projetos como este necessitam ser progressivamente mais presentes na sociedade.

“…Mayana Satze et al postulated that the ascertainment of nonagenarians and particularly of centenarians who were recovered from COVID-19 or remained asymptomatic opens new possibilities of exploration directing to increase our understanding of biological mechanisms concomitant with resistance against pathogens aspects. 7 Another potential important factor could be the role of critical antiaging genes such as Sirtuin 1, which might be important to the accelerated cancerogenic morbidity and mortality rate with relevance to the COVID-19 epidemic. Maybe genes pathophysiologic activities could be a new extra angle of introduced original Death triangle theories of Badlou BA different papers 2018-2023).…”

“…Moreover, some genes like Sirtuin 1 is presented to be important to the immune response, diabetes and cancer progression, however. [7][8][9] Currently the Science-based works are unfortunately transformed into creating new biological (biosimilar) drugs and vaccines. Subsequently, instead of producing beneficial medicine, they are mistakenly trying to initiate specific hematologic errors, in certain affected patients.…”

Postcovid-19 war era, hematologic disorders significantly increased by Covid-19 variants, mysteriously

COVID-19 mutant(s)’ attacks are not over yet. Most people who developed COVID-19 infection fully recovered, but current confirmation suggests approximately 10%-20% of people experience a variety of mid- and long-term effects after they recovered from their initial illness. Besides, isolated blood products transfusion is a lifesaving procedure but hematologic disorders after transfusion accelerate morbidity and mortality rates, however. Platelet (hypo-)hyperactivity and dysfunction in different COVID-19 patients were already known facts but whether COVID-19 different variants could activate and/or accelerate death triangle machinery in diabetic and cancer patients, which can initiate synergistic interaction is not entirely elucidated yet. Deficiencies over standard protocols and golden standards in blood transfusion and biological products are of considerable concern now (March 2023). Subsequently, the management of almost all-natural products produced recently and biosimilar and their associated quality controls endure significant ignoring problems. What we learned from the last 3 years pandemic was that different blood banks isolated products still are potential hazardous factors to cause accelerated death and/or recovery; if they (in-)appropriately applied, curiously. In this mini-review is tried to unravel different potential changes, relationships, and associations between lifesaving (blood transfusion, isolated blood products) versus not-lifesaving approaches/procedures after 2023. Besides it tried to highlight specific context and rationale, especially concerning main factors that are playing a crucial role in the Pandemic separately, and/or together in an additive and/or synergistic way, to increase chronic postcovid-19 side effects/ collateral damages to longcovid patients.
