When it comes to healthy longevity, the women are crushing it! Ruth Sweedler, 103, has her big sister Shirley Hodes, 106, showing her the way when it comes to healthy longevity. When Francis Kompus turned 100, she celebrated with her two older sisters – Julia Kopriva, 104, and Lucy Pochop, 102. And these are just some of the siblings out of the almost 90,000 centenarians in the U.S. as of 2021.

The Numbers
