    Centenarians in Italy – As of 1 January 2025 – Istat

    Compared to 1 January 2009, when there were 10,158, the number of centenarians has more than doubled (+130%).

    The centenarians alive on 1 January 2025 are distributed across the territory in a heterogeneous manner. In absolute terms, the highest presence is recorded in Lombardy (almost 4 thousand), Lazio and Emilia-Romagna (over 2 thousand for both).

    In relative terms, Molise is at the top of the ranking, with around 61 centenarians for every 100 thousand residents. However, apart from this region, taking into account its limited number of centenarians, a pre-eminent position in terms of longevity is that expressed by Liguria, the historically most rapidly aging region in the country, as also highlighted by the highest average age of its residents, which has reached almost 50 years. Its share of centenarians is equal to 59.4 per 100 thousand residents as of 1 January 2025, ahead of that of Friuli-Venezia Giulia (55.4) and Tuscany (49.1). Among the provinces, Isernia has the highest concentration of centenarians (78.7), ahead of that of Nuoro (65.5), Siena and Gorizia (63.5 both). This is followed by three Ligurian provinces, Imperia (61.2), Genoa (61.1) and La Spezia (61.0). In Sardinia, in addition to Nuoro, the Province of Oristano also has a significant concentration of centenarians (52.7, 18th in the ranking). Taken together, the two Sardinian provinces, which include areas of Barbagia and Ogliastra (the so-called “Blue Zone”), bear witness to Sardinia’s extreme longevity.

      Non importa se sei un leone o una gazzella, l’importante, per diventare centenario, è che tu cominci a ~~correre~~ essere donna.

      Il corpo femminile ha un sistema cardiocircolatorio migliore (in media) di un maschio

      Insomma se volevo campare cent’anni ho già sbagliato in partenza col genere sessuale.

      Nella mia città medio-piccola abbiamo una supercentenaria, due semi-supercentenarie, cui dovrebbe aggiungersi (facciamo le corna) tra pochi mesi pure mia nonna. Statisticamente anomalo direi (e no, non sto in Sardegna), almeno quanto il fatto che di così poche semisupercentenarie in Italia una è la nonna di Renzi, come twittava lui stesso pochi giorni fa.

      Cos’è successo nel 2015 che ha avviato un calo? E perché dal 2019 c’è una crescita? Avrei immaginato di vedere un dalo nel 20-21 per via del covid, essendo gli anziani a rischio, no? O forse i 100+ hanno già dimostrato di avere un sistema immunitario eccellente?
