AnnotationThe Heidelberger Hundertjährigen-Studie identified 156 people aged exactly 100 years old in a geographically demarcated area around Heidelberg. While living a successful old age at 100 is seen as difficult in terms of bodily functions and activities of daily life (ADLs), older people's cognitive capacity at that age appears to give them the capacity to maintain a positive outlook.
