Our Mission

Our mission is to examine the social, psychological, health characteristics of SuperAgers and produce insights into what is successful for individuals and how society should plan for future longevity.

This website is an activity of the Lifetime Circumstances Predicting Exceptional Longevity Project at the USC Leonard Davis School and is supported by a gift from the M Center of Excellence.
