As the Lancet reported recently, average global life expectancy is increasing so quickly that by 2. South Korea and 8. UK. It means the Queen's cards — sent to British subjects in the UK turning 1. And a lot are sent to one place: Worthing. The small seaside town in West Sussex has the highest proportion of centenarians in the UK, according to a recent report from the Office of National Statistics. There are 2. 6 alone in the tiny ward of Heene, which has only 8,0. Worthing's other residents are not surprised by the news. They call the town 'God's waiting room' and point to the fleets of mobility scooters whizzing along the seafront. Joy, a former shoe saleswoman from Brighton, is one of Worthing's newest centenarians, having celebrated the milestone at the end of January at the nursing home where she lives. Worthing's Mayor, Sean Mc. Donald, was at one of her parties — he goes to a lot of 1. Though they're all women,' he says. The key is to keep your brain healthy.'A lot of the Queen's cards are being sent to the small seaside town of Worthing. Joy is one of 2. 6 over- 1. Heene ward. The secret of long life has long fascinated us — as have those communities that seem to enjoy such longevity. Most recently this has been people living in Acciaroli, a tiny fishing village south of Naples in Italy, where last year a team of scientists spent six months studying, to work out why so many of the residents were living in almost perfect health into their 9. The researchers found they had unusually good circulation, as well as low levels of a hormone called adrenomedullin, which can impede circulation and is linked to heart failure. But Acciaroli's centenarians had their own ideas about the elixirs of long life: espresso coffee, cowboy films and red wine with lunch. They also ate a lot of rosemary (which has antioxidant and anti- inflammatory properties) . But you could ask 1. In the medical world, the latest thinking about longevity involves telomeres — these are the protective 'caps' at the end of the chromosomes (the string- like structures of DNA in cells).'We know that the more telomeres people have, the longer they live because when you run out of caps, the string of chromosomes they're holding together can unravel, which can cause all sorts of health problems,' says Dr Miskelly.'We're all born with a different number of telomeres, but environmental factors reduce that number. Smoking damages the telomeres in the lung cells, for example, and heavy drinking damages those in the cells of the liver, heart and brain.'Joy's secret, she reckons, is a pint of Guinness a day. This certainly echoes Gladys' experience, back in Worthing.'I've avoided too much fat and starch, and I like fruit,' says Gladys, a retired civil servant, who moved to the town 4. I've walked everywhere, within reason, and went swimming. Small Fries Child Care has implimented a policy handbook required by the State of Texas. It protects the children, sets health/safety policies, and sets business. We conducted an 18-month trial involving 641 primarily normal-weight children from 4 years 10 months to 11 years 11 months of age. Participants were randomly. I've always loved table tennis — maybe that's the answer to longevity?'But alcohol in moderation — up to 1. Gladys admits she 'usually has a glass of wine a night, maybe more — depending on the company'. And there are other advocates for alcohol among the nonagenarians soon to reach 1. Caer Gwent care home where Gladys lives. Coco Mac. Leod, 9. Ian (at only 9. 4, he's her 'toyboy', she says) have their own house in Worthing, but are staying at the care home for a holiday. They're in an apartment on the first floor where they've just eaten lunch and are sitting with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc in hand.'Always judge a place by its plate, I say, and that means a glass, too,' says Coco. After World War II, where Ian fought in the Indian Army, they did degree after degree at university (while Ian also sold paint for a shipping company). Their daughter Andrea, in her 6. Coco and Ian's three granddaughters so far have seven between them. Dr Miskelly says that could be the key to health for the Mac. Leods.'If you are highly intelligent, your brain takes longer to develop deficiencies,' he says.'Intelligent people do live longer, but you have to think about cause and effect. Are you more likely to have a better lifestyle, watch your diet and habits, socialise more and do everything we know that helps to increase your chances of living to an older age if you're clever? Probably.'But the Mac. Leods are convinced it's something else. Gladys Oughton, 1.
