Core values

- **Validation and Research**: The GRG's meticulous validation of supercentenarians ensures accurate data, which is crucial for scientific research on aging and longevity. This accuracy is fundamental for developing reliable theories and interventions[1][4].
- **Advancing Knowledge**: By studying supercentenarians, the GRG contributes significantly to the understanding of human longevity, healthy aging, and the factors that influence extreme longevity. This knowledge can lead to better healthspan and lifespan for the general population[1][4].
- **Improving Quality of Life**: The research and findings from the GRG can inform evidence-based interventions that improve cognitive, physical, social, and emotional functioning in older adults, thereby enhancing their quality of life[5].
- **Promoting Positive Change**: The GRG's work fosters collaboration between academia, industry, and government, driving innovation and policy changes that can benefit public health and community well-being[4].
- **Community Well-being**: By focusing on healthy aging and longevity, the GRG's research has the potential to reduce the burden on healthcare systems and improve the overall well-being of communities, especially as the population ages[5].
