Unlike most people her age, she has zero cardiovascular problems nor memory issues, and can recount stories from the age of four as if they happened yesterday Dr Esteller has taken DNA samples, including saliva, urine and blood, from Ms Branyas, whom he visited at her care home in Olot, Gerona, in northern Spain.
The 116-year-old has previously credited eating natural yogurt each day for her longevity, and avoiding ‘excesses’, adding: 'I have always eaten little, but everything, and I have never followed any regime. I have not suffered from any illness or been through an operating room.' However she admitted she also believes it is down to genes and ‘luck’, which Dr Esteller agrees with.
