The psychological health of 207 near-centenarians (95-99) and centenarians from the Sydney Centenarian Study.

CONCLUSION: Despite showing higher levels of psychological distress in the prior 4 weeks than younger age groups, near-centenarians and centenarians remained highly satisfied with their overall lives. The identification of risk and protective factors for psychological distress and life satisfaction provides opportunities for interventions to maintain good psychological health in this vulnerable population.
