概要 The number of centenarians mostly constituted by women continued to increase during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2022 in Japan, despite the decline in the life expectancy at birth of both women and men in 2021, the first time after the Great East Japan Earthquake. The centenarians during the COVID-19 pandemic had to survive 2 world wars, hunger, and flu pandemics, suggesting genetic and/or epigenetic background, especially for better immune defense. In addition, in Japan, it may be presumed that the centenarians could have survived the COVID-19 pandemic due to thoughtful general precautions against viral infections and the COVID-19 vaccination as a new strategy.
