Abstract: The life expectancy of human
is increasing in almost all
over the world, accordingly population aging. Long-liver studies and research
about longevity have increased considerably in recent decades and are currently
recognized as providing important contributions to the understanding of what
can be “successful aging.” Population aging
is a multidimensional and complex phenomenon and depends as a social, medical
as well as genetic factors. The aim of our study was to reveal and statistically process
the number of centenarians in the region of Adjara, Georgia since it was known
that the mentioned region is famous of long-livers comparing to the
other regions of Georgia. At the same time, we were interested in how is the
ranging the number of centenarians in 5 years dynamics, in concrete,
statistical data of 2012-2017 has been processed. The study has shown that the increase of the long-livers concentration
can be observed in all five municipalities of
Ajara in the five-years dynamics. Special increase of live longer was
observed in Batumi, Khelvachauri and Kobuleti municipalities; The number of
centenarians apart from Keda and Shuakhevi municipalities has increased as
well. Obtained data have shown that longevity of Ajarian population has been
increased and the fact will be useful for further research to identify the main
reasons for the multifactorial process of successful aging in Adjara
populations.
