NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who make it to the age of 100 may indeed have some "good genes" that they pass on their children, according to a new study.
The study, of more than 600 older U.S. adults, found that the children of centenarians tended to live longer and were substantially less likely to develop diabetes or suffer a heart attack or stroke over four years.
The results suggest that children of centenarians tend to retain a "cardiovascular advantage" over their peers as they age, note Emily R. Adams and colleagues at Boston University and Boston Medical Center.
"These findings reinforce the notion that there may be physiological reasons that longevity runs in families and that centenarian offspring are more likely to age in better cardiovascular health and with a lower mortality than their peers," the researchers wrote in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
The study included 440 men and women who had at least one parent who`d survived to age 100 or beyond, and 192 adults whose parents had lived an average life expectancy. The average age in both groups was 72 at the start of the study.
Over the next four years, Adams and her colleagues found, children of centenarians were 81 percent less likely to die and significantly less likely to develop cardiovascular problems or diabetes.
Only 0.7 percent suffered a heart attack during the study period, compared with 3.5 percent of the comparison group. Similarly, 1 percent of the centenarian group had a stroke, versus 6 percent of their peers.
Meanwhile, diabetes was newly diagnosed in just over 5 percent of the comparison group, but only 0.8 percent of the centenarian group.
"The current findings suggest that centenarian offspring are following in their parent`s footsteps, avoiding some of the vascular morbidities afflicting their peers and, more importantly, being less likely to die over time," the researchers write.
They add that the results also stress the importance of good cardiovascular health in anyone`s chances of living an exceptionally long life.

Toddler`s brain repaired with `glue`
In a rarest of rare surgery, American doctors operating upon a 17-month-old girl used glue to seal tiny brain blood vessels that were threatening Ella-Grace Honeyman, 17 months, was born with vein of Galen malformation, which causes tiny holes in the brain`s main blood vessels and affects only a few hundred babies worldwide each year.
She was given months to live after blood seeped through the openings and flooded her skull cavity, causing a potentially fatal aneurysm. But in the latest in a series of high-risk operations, American surgeons have used the medical equivalent of superglue to stem the bleeding, reports Times Online.
With the help of local fundraisers, Ella-Grace`s parents paid more than £100,000 for pioneering treatment in the United States and France, as there is a lack of trained surgeons in Britain to perform the operation.
Although their daughter may need to have further surgery, she now has every chance of living a full and happy life, Laura and Ryan Honeyman, from Horsfold, Norfolk, have been told.
A team of surgeons inserted a remote-controlled tube containing an organic adhesive through her groin, past her stomach and heart, and finally into the base of her brain.
Once there, they injected the glue into the holes in an artery and faulty capillaries, allowing the fluid in her skull to drain and removing the aneurysm.
About five cases occur each year in Britain and only two hospitals - Great Ormond Street, London, and Glasgow - are equipped to deal with them. But the family were told that Ella-Grace`s chances of survival would be greater if they travelled, first to France, and then to the US, to see experts who had more experience in the surgery required.
"When we first learnt about Ella-Grace`s condition, we were devastated," Laura, 29, said.
"We were told she had a brain aneurysm that would kill her unless treated and we really thought we`d lose our baby girl. The operation was a success and worth every penny. She`s now doing what all kids her age should be doing - bouncing around, playing and having a good time."
Ella-Grace had been in obvious pain before doctors detected the aneurysm shortly before her first birthday, Laura said. Her first operation in France went well, but the surgeon died two days afterwards, and the family had to head to the US for more treatment.
Ella-Grace still needs a number of "top-up" operations to plug the remaining openings, and is due to travel back to New York next spring.

`Brain death` panels on the cards
MUMBAI: In a bid to boost organ donation, the BMC will set up `brain death` committees at five peripheral hospitals in the city.
"The committees will have the power to declare a patient brain dead. The move will help in retrieval of vital organs-which function up to 72 hours after brain death-that can then be transplanted to patients suffering from organ failure,`` a BMC official said.
The committee comprising a neurologist, referring doctor, the medical superintendent of the hospital concerned and a specialist will be formed at Bhabha Hospital in Bandra, Bhagwati Hospital in Borivli, V N Desai Hospital in Andheri, Shatabdi Hospital in Govandi and Rajawadi Hospital in Ghatkopar.
Currently, these committees exist in major medical colleges and in recognised hospitals that carry out organ transplants. However, sources, claimed these committees exist only on paper.
Experts feel the presence of these committees will help increase the pool of organs in a donor-starved city. "We will get the five hospitals registered as revival centres from the state.. There is a need for at least four doctors to declare a patient brain dead. In cardiac deaths, only one doctor`s declaration is enough,`` said Dr Vatsala Trivedi, co-ordinator of Zonal Transplantation Co-Ordination Centre since its inception in 2001.

ICRA said ICICI Bank needs to maintain its capital levels and non performaing assets or NPAs at acceptable levels, and also improve its liquidity profile. ICRA said, ICICI Bank`s large net worth will give protection to debt holders, but there is a pressure on the company due to deterioration in retail asset quality and rise in cost of funds.

Jagdish Gaba,
Yes , you are right in adding,Do`t panic and N do`nt buy in haste. One should buy in small quantities and systimatically on every major dip.
