Thomas Perls Biography

Geriatrician and aging researcher Dr. Thomas Perls works at the Boston University School of Medicine. He is a world authority on human remarkable lifespan due to his knowledge of epidemiology, genetics, and aging processes. He oversees the New England Centenarian Study, which is supported by the National Institute on Aging, while also caring for elderly patients with complicated medical issues and difficult threats to their independence as an associate professor of medicine (the NECS). The NECS is the world's biggest study of persons who live to be 100 years old or older. At BU, he also oversees the Long-Life Family Study. These investigations are making significant progress in our understanding of how and why centenarians and their children who are in their 70s and 80s live the majority of their lives without experiencing any disabilities, and in the case of supercentenarians who live to 110 or beyond, age-related diseases do not manifest themselves until the very end of life. His book Living to 100: Lessons in Maximizing Your Potential at Any Age presents the results of his research. The Living to 100 life expectancy calculator, which determines your life expectancy based on a ten-minute questionnaire, is born out of this effort. Along with your life expectancy, you may learn what you are doing correctly and wrong as well as how many years you can add to your life by making little but significant adjustments to your routine. Every day, more than 5000 individuals use the calculator, including hundreds of students in middle, high, and college classrooms who use it to instruct young people on how to survive their adolescence and the long-term advantages of making healthy and wise choices.
