The Census bureau has released new, updated information about the 53,364 Americans who are 100 and older. Here’s what you need to know: about 80% of them are women. The Census also found that you’re also more likely to live past 100 if you are a white, female city dweller in the Northeast or Midwest. Apparently the key to longevity is…be a white woman? More
It seems a little bit too fantastical, but Canadian researcher Johné Liu may just have discovered the fountain of fertility, so to speak. The main reason women over 35 have reduced fertility, more miscarriages and more babies born with birth defects is that they produce more egg cells with the incorrect number of chromosomes. But according to Liu, drinking water or taking a pill laced with natural compound putrescine could boost fertility and seriously reduce the number of abnormal eggs produced by women older but pre-menopausal women.

Though it’s fairly common knowledge that you can stay sharp activities like puzzles and reading, this study is one of the first to look at the brain’s actual physical health. More
As far as anti-aging treatments, laser skin tightening is one of the least risky and least invasive (no knives, no needles, no botulism). But does it work? More
In bizarre but interesting lady-part news: A study of “breast appearance and aging in twins” found that breastfeeding and daily moisturizing can keep your twins looking pretty as you age.* Published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, the study looked at identical twins to see how lifestyle and environmental factors contribute aesthetically to aging breasts.

The iconic writer Nora Ephron died at age 71 last night, in Weill-Cornell/New York-Presbyterian Hospital. It appears that she had a particularly aggressive case of leukemia, but as Ephron wasn’t open about her health leading up to her death, there have been various reports of her illness since last night, but her doctor confirmed with CBS that she died of acute myeloid leukemia, one of the most aggressive of the four types of leukemia.

A new study confirms that 50 is the new 20, at least in terms of eating disorder rates: Researchers found that 13% of women over 50 have eating disorders–some for the first time in their lives–challenging the notion that eating disorders primarily effect young women and teens…along with the idea that today’s well-preserved celebrities and TV shows like ‘Sex and The City’ are empowering older women to celebrate age.

A UK study released today has Web news headlines blaring that omega-3s may not protect your brain after all. Oh really? We say don’t chuck your fish oil supplements just yet. There are plenty of good reasons to take omega-3 supplements, even if they don’t wind up helping with memory and brain health. But more importantly, the study was only conducted in adults 60 to 80 years old. More
British rock legend Morrissey announced that he’s planning to quit music in two years—which isn’t all that surprising for the 55-year-old former Smiths frontman; he’s been going strong since the 80s, which is more than a lot of musicians can say. But his main reason for quitting isn’t what you’d expect: Apparently, it’s body image issues that are doing him in. More

Is sex really all downhill from your late 20s? Our favorite website is reporting that women reach their “sexual peak” at 28 years old, men at age 33. More
Olympic swimmer, Dara Torres, who turned 45 last month is pushing hard to make her sixth Olympic team. This, she says, has been the hardest attempt by far due to an aging body, but she’s not letting that stop her. Instead of giving up, she’s getting smarter about building a stronger body to keep up with swimmers half her age. More
Yesterday, a celebrity roast was held for Betty White by the Friars Club in New York City. Many Hollywood stars gathered to celebrate our favorite 90-year-old actress. And while most of the jokes were related to her age (something she proudly accepts), White has had some pretty good jokes of her own about aging gracefully and healthily–with a good attitude (as she proved last night at her roast). Take a look at some of our favorite Betty White quotes of all time about living healthy, no matter what your age:

May is Employee Health and Fitness Month, but it’s also about a million other cause-months that we think are important. Like, for example, National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month–which we take pretty seriously because, here in the U.S., about 10 million individuals already suffer from osteoporosis, and about of half women over the age of 50 will break a bone due to the highly-preventable disease. Regardless of your age, it’s never too late to start thinking about your bone health. More
A new study says buckyballs—aka Buckminsterfullerine, an organic compound composed of 60 carbon atoms studied by many a high school chemistry student—could be a fountain of youth…or at least, a pretty good anti-aging solution. In fact, some hope that a teaspoon a day could help us live to 150. (But first they’ll need to test it out on animals besides rodents.) More
