Summary
This study aims to find genes that help people live to 95 or older in good health. Researchers are recruiting Ashkenazi Jewish individuals aged 95+, their children, and children of parents who died young. By comparing DNA, they hope to discover why some people age more slowly and avoid disease. No treatments or drugs are tested—only blood samples and health information are collected.
