Swedish centenarian health – a nationwide, observational study on care utilization, drug use, morbidity, and mortality among Swedish centenarians in 1990 to 2022
Overall, the data suggest that the health status of Swedish centenarians has worsened over time. Although some of these changes may reflect improved diagnostics and increased drug prescriptions, it is likely that morbidity has also risen as a result of greater survival from disease at older ages.
