A YouTube video by Jeffrey Jaime discussing longevity ‘drugs’ and referencing a study of the world’s oldest person near Barcelona, Spain. The speaker describes how local researchers collected biological samples (blood, saliva, urine, stool) from a living 107‑year‑old woman and compared them to other local women, noting the subject’s unusually good health span (vibrant, talkative) as well as lifespan.
They were able to study the world's oldest person. And it turns out that the university that was studying her, it was located pretty close to where she lived, near Barcelona, Spain. So it made it easy for them to do things like collect samples from her blood, from her saliva, from her urine, from her stool. Not when she was dead, which would be gross. I don't know if they did that, but when she was actually alive and they were comparing it to a bunch of other local women to see all what it is that there's 107 year old women woman had in her body or in her cells, or in her genes that seemed to allow her not to just have pretty good lifespan. But from what I understand, she was actually very vibrant and talkative and communicative as this so called super centenarian. So it was both health span and lifespan.
