Agree that would be fascinating! Because it’s a component I think we undervalue. Unfortunately that could be harder to measure because a lot of it is subjective.
As a higher BMI person who exercises 5-7 days a week consistently, this is hopeful. I also wonder how they define dietary diversity. And what exercise means for someone over 80 or 90. Chair yoga? Walks? Hiking? Maybe gardening haha.
I’d have loved to know the specifics on diet questionnaire too, but unfortunately they didn’t provide much info! I think exercise was probably more so “physical activity” in this case.
I enjoyed reading the article. On the subject, here's a different perspective on longevity reporting. These surface relationships can be better explained through statistical concepts like the "survivorship bias" -- drawing conclusions from incomplete data sets by only analysing 'survivors' without considering those not present.

I wish we could say with certainty. Unfortunately there wasn’t detailed information on either of these. Though I’d like to think people have cemented some of the same food and activity habits at age 80 that carry into 90 and 100.
What I want to see next out of these longevity studies is psychological stress effects on a long and healthy life.

This gives me hope. I wonder what dietary diversity and exercise entail. Is it the same at 80, 90, 100 or does it change with age?
