Increase in very old individuals is observed in all developed countries around the world. The number of centenarians has also been rising, requiring the investigation of the characteristics of these exceptionally long-lived individuals as well as their experience of life at age 100. There is so far only limited information on centenarians living in Switzerland. The project SWISS100 is the first nation-wide Swiss centenarian study, conducted across the three main language regions. During 2020-2021, we conducted a telephone study with centenarians and a family member as proxy informant, using a mixed-methods approach to investigate centenarians’ specific characteristics and their life circumstances.
