“…This is because Se varied largely even at a small scale in soil, high Se content and low Se content usually coexist in a city, and the research scale of this paper is still too large to show relationship between Se and longevity. Some studies at the town scale and county scale within a city have shown that climate factors is almost the same, so Se will be more significant related to longevity [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ].…”

“…In contrast, barium (Ba) and nickel (Ni) have significant negative correlations longevity, while distributions of cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), vanadium (V), zinc (Zn), lithium (Li), and iron (Fe) showed no significant correlations with longevity [ 16 ]. Of all the trace elements, Se appears most closely linked with longevity [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Food contributes a greater proportion of daily elemental intake than drinking water [ 26 ], and the Se content in food is positively correlates with the Se content in soil [ 27 ].…”

Human longevity is influenced by environment and nutrition. We considered environmental and nutritional factors relating to longevity in Chinese cities. We found higher 85+/65+ distribution ratios, indicating enhanced longevity, in the coastal and southern regions of China. These areas also featured higher humidity, low standard deviation of monthly temperature, higher levels of selenium (Se) distribution in soil, and greater sea fish consumption. Moderate climate is more conducive to longevity, however, there is no significant difference in longevity between different sub-climatic types within moderate climate; the relation between humidity and longevity is not always positive, the relation between altitude and longevity is not always negative. Nutritional factors like Se and omega-3 fatty acids contained in sea fish were crucial to longevity. In contrast, the consumption of meat and freshwater fish were less related to longevity. Taken together, humidity, altitude, and per capita sea fish consumption, when evaluated via geographically weighted regression, explained 66% and 68% of longevity among Chinese individuals in 2000 and 2010, respectively. Other factors require further discussion.

“…Six out of the 19 drugs have already been reported to significantly extend the lifespan of at least one model organisms (S2 text), while only 1 was expected by chance (p < 0.001). Additionally, using literature mining, we identified studies showing the association with longevity of cAMP analogues [28], selenium [29,30] and tanespimycin [31,32]. In contrast, we also found evidence for the DNA-mediated, pro-ageing (anti-longevity) effects of doxorubicin [33], cisplatin [34] and hydrogen peroxide [35].…”

Thyroid nodules (TNs) are common thyroid lesions in older population. Few studies focused on the prevalence of TNs and its relationship to lifestyle characteristics and dietary habits in centenarians. The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of TNs in Chinese centenarians using high-resolution ultrasound equipment and investigate its relationship to lifestyles and dietary habits. The current study was part of China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study (CHCCS) which conducted in Hainan, an iodine sufficient region in China. A total of 874 permanent residents aged 100 years or older (mean age, 102.8 ± 2.8 years) without any missing data were included in the analysis. Among the participants, 649 of them were detected at least one thyroid nodule under the ultrasound examinations. The overall prevalence rate of TNs was 74.3%. The prevalence of TNs was higher in participants who were females, hypertension, diabetes, and underweight than their counterparts. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that being female, hypertension, diabetes, betel quid consumption, red meat consumption were independent risk factors, while being underweight, and nut consumption were independent protective factors for TNs. Our findings indicate that the presence of thyroid nodules was highly prevalent in Chinese centenarians, particularly in females. In addition to gender, hypertension, diabetes, and underweight, the presence of TNs was independently associated with betel quid, red meat, and nut consumptions. Further prospective studies are warranted to verify these associations in population from different age strata, races, cultures, and iodine backgrounds. 2 / 12 IntroductionThyroid nodules (TNs) are common thyroid lesions in older population. High-resolution ultrasonography has made possible the detection of asymptomatic and non-palpable thyroid nodules [1]. The prevalence of TNs detected by high-resolution ultrasonography was 19-68% based on randomly selected individuals, with annual increasing trends worldwide [2,3]. The clinical importance of TNs detection rests with the need to exclude thyroid cancer, which occurs in 5-15% of TN cases [1,4]. A recent study reported that the occurrence of TNs increased as people age, with a prevalence of 74% in a community-based sample of Chinese senior adults [5]. However, the prevalence of this lesion in centenarians remained understudied. Considering the issues mentioned above, there is a need to specifically determine the prevalence of TNs in late life, particularly in centenarians.The high prevalence rate of TNs was partly due to widespread application of high-resolution ultrasound and early diagnosis. In addition, recent studies also proposed that several risk factors could attribute to TNs. Among those risk factors, some factors were non-modifiable such as age, sex, and history of irradiation exposure, while others were modifiable including iodine intake, smoking, alcohol drinking, obesity and metabolic syndrome [5][6][7][8]. However, some other modifiable factors, inc...
