  • Amerindian ancestry and extended longevity in Nicoya, Costa Rica 
    Azofeifa, Jorge; Ruiz Narváez, Edward A.; Leal, Alejandro; Gerlovin, Hanna; Rosero-Bixby, Luis (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2017)
    The increase in life expectancy, as a result of the reduction of preventable causes of mortality, represents—almost globally—one of the great legacies of the twentieth century for public health. Among its outcomes are a ...
  • Differential DNA methylation and lymphocyte proportions in a Costa Rican high longevity region 
    McEwen, Lisa M.; Morin, Alexander M.; Rachel D., Edgar; Maclsaac, Julia L.; Jones, Meaghan J.; Dow, William H.; Rosero-Bixby, Luis; Kobor, Michael S.; Rehkop, David H. (BMC, 2017)
    The Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica has one of the highest old-age life expectancies in the world, but the underlying biological mechanisms of this longevity are not well understood. As DNA methylation is hypothesized to ...
  • The exceptionally high life expectancy of Costa Rican Nonagenarians 
    Rosero-Bixby, Luis (The Population Association of America, 2008)
    Robust data from a voter registry show that Costa Rican nonagenarians have an exceptionally high live expectancy. Mortality at age 90 in Costa Rica is at least 14% lower than an average of 13 high-income countries. This ...
  • Impresiones y recuerdos: José Silverio Gómez 1801- 1904 
    Pittier, Henri (Centro Centroamericano de Población, 2011)
    Este ensayo del sabio conservacionista Henri Pittier (1857-1950) que data de 1904 es posiblemente el primer testimonio sobre la excepcional longevidad de los habitantes de la Península de Nicoya, Costa Rica. Fue el estadístico ...
  • Insurance and other socioeconomic determinants of elderly longevity in a Costa Rican panel 
    Rosero-Bixby, Luis; Dow, William H.; Laclé, Adriana (Cambridge University Press, 2005)
    Official figures show that life expectancy in Costa Rica is longer than in the United States (US), in spite of the fact that per capita health expenditure is only one-tenth that of the US. To check whether this is for real ...
  • Longer leukocyte telomere length in Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula: a population-based study 
    Rehkopf, David H.; Dow, William H.; Rosero-Bixby, Luis; Lin, Jue; Epel, Elissa; Blackburn, Elizabeth H. (ELSEVIER, 2013)
    Studies in humans suggest that leukocyte telomere length may act as a marker of biological aging. We investigated whether individuals in the Nicoya region of Costa Rica, known for exceptional longevity, had longer telomere ...
  • The Nicoya region of Costa Rica: A high longevity island for elderly males 
    Rosero-Bixby, Luis; Dow, William H.; Rehkopf, David H. (Vienna Institute of Demography, 2013)
    Reliable data show that the Nicoyan region of Costa Rica is a hot spot of high longevity. A survival follow-up of 16,300 elderly Costa Ricans estimated a Nicoya death rate ratio (DRR) for males 1990–2011 of 0.80 (0.69–0.93 ...
  • Predicting survival from telomere length versus conventional predictors: a multinational population-based cohort study 
    Glei, Dana A.; Goldman, Noreen; Risques, Rosa Ana; Rehkopf, David H.; Dow, William H.; Rosero-Bixby, Luis; Weinstein, Maxine (Public Library of Science, 2016)
    Telomere length has generated substantial interest as a potential predictor of aging-related diseases and mortality. Some studies have reported significant associations, but few have tested its ability to discriminate ...
  • ¿Son los nonagenarios costarricenses los seres humanos más longevos? 
    Rosero-Bixby, Luis (Academia de Centroamérica, 2005)
    Que el envejecimiento de la población es un resultado directo de mejoras en la longevidad es una percepción equivocada muy común. Así mismo, la presencia de muchos superancianos en una población a menudo se toma erróneamente ...
