Race and ethnicity dynamics in survival to 100 years in the United States.
Abstract
After age 85, the U.S. non-Hispanic Black population mortality rate becomes less than that of the White population (called the Black-White mortality crossover). It is not known how this survival advantage compares to Asian and Hispanic groups, and whether differences persist to age 100+ years.

Research summary
The paper addresses the dynamics of survival rates among different racial and ethnic groups in the context of longevity, specifically focusing on the survival to age 100. While it provides valuable insights into demographic factors influencing longevity, it does not directly tackle the root causes of aging or propose mechanisms for lifespan extension. Therefore, it represents solid research but with limited impact on the broader field of longevity research.
