Salvatore Carbone, PhD: First, I’d like to point out that obesity is a major risk factor for cardiometabolic disease. There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia.

The first thing to realise is that while healthy centenarians rely on genetics, we must rely on risk factor control. Aggressively control the risk factors. Maybe not as late as them, but definitely later than those who have poor risk factor profiles. Delay the onset of the disease. But maybe until age 80?
