Scientists seek clues to longevity from three Brazilian sisters over 100

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - What is the secret to a long life? Three Brazilian sisters with a combined age of 316, who were named by Guinness this month as the oldest living trio of siblings in the world, may help researchers find out.
The DNA Longevo Project, a study led by scientist Mayana Zatz from the University of Sao Paulo, aims to investigate the biological factors behind aging.
Findings from the three sisters’ case could help scientists better understand why some people remain physically and cognitively resilient at exceptionally advanced ages.
Researchers will compare nonagenarians and centenarians with people who have developed frailty, cognitive decline or chronic diseases, seeking traits linked to longevity.
“Through DNA testing, we look for protective genes, and we know there are several of them,” said Zatz, who coordinates the university’s Human Genome Research Center. “The more people we have who live past 100, especially families with multiple centenarians, the more accurate our research will be in identifying them.”
Scientists believe inherited factors may play a larger role than environmental influences in preserving health and function later in life.
The sisters, Zulina de Deus Nunes, 103, Zoraide de Deus Mota, 104, and Levita de Deus Nunes, 109, who live in Rio de Janeiro, were identified through LongeviQuest, a global organization that verifies longevity records and partners with Guinness World Records

NEED TO KNOW
- Lamprini Karavidas, 80, opened Mama K’s, a Greek restaurant in Fraser, Mich. that serves breakfast and lunch daily, back in February
- Despite her dedication, including working seven days a week, the restaurant has struggled to attract consistent customers
- Mama K’s features homemade dishes and daily specials, with updates shared regularly on the restaurant’s Facebook page
It’s never too late to chase a dream — just ask Lamprini Karavidas.
In February, the 80-year-old, known as Mama K, opened a family restaurant in Fraser, Mich. — located at 16651 East 14 Mile Road — that serves Greek cuisine for breakfast and lunch.
Lamprini told WXYZ 7 News Detroit that she works at the restaurant, aptly named Mama K’s, seven days a week, from open to close, but has faced some difficulty getting customers through the door since its grand opening.
Her son, Lazarous Karavidas, noted that some days are better than others, but the restaurant has been struggling, and it’s been “tough.”
