Madrid, May 13, 2024.- In this sense, the scientific itinerary that Dr. Manuel de la Peña is carrying out, of great international prestige as an academic, director of the chair of heart and longevity and president of the European Institute of Health and Social Welfare, which to demonstrate that people will be able to live 120 years in the year 2045, is investigating and conducting a tour of clinical interviews with the oldest people in the world. Proof of this are the clinical interviews that it has carried out with Mrs. Josefa Navas, 107 years old, Don Servando Palacín, 109 years old, and Don Engraciano González, 109 years old, among others. In this case, he conducted a clinical interview with Teodora Cea Bermejo, who, at 112 years old, is currently the oldest living person. of the Community of Madrid. She lives in El Escorial, where she was born on April 1, 1912. Her husband died at the age of 60 and her only living son, José Luis, is 77 years old and her only granddaughter, María Dolores is 50 years old and both are very attentive. Doña Teodora has survived the First and Second World Wars, the flu pandemic, the Civil War and the Covid pandemic. She overcame Covid-19 asymptomatically. Professor de la Peña considers that Doña Teodora has been greatly influenced by her healthy habits and lifestyles, that is, her epigenetics, since her habits include: healthy food based on vegetables , she loves chocolate and churros, she has always liked to dance and walk, and she is very skinny. She does not complain of any type of pain. Despite being hypertensive, as she is very disciplined with her treatment, her blood pressure is perfectly controlled, since she was 130/70. Her heart rate is 79 beats per minute at rest, but she has atrial fibrillation, that is, irregular heartbeats, which is the most common arrhythmia. For this reason and with very good medical judgment, she is anticoagulated to protect her against a stroke. Likewise, it was observed that her oxygen saturation was 95, says Dr. De la Peña. Her real problem is that she does not feel the need to drink water and you have to give it to her at intervals. Something that frequently happens in supercentenarians. Recently, she had a urine infection and, precisely because she drank too little, it left her a little weak. At 105 years old she fell and had hip surgery, and with the replacement she did not do rehabilitation and she lost a lot of mobility. She also had cataract surgery and, therefore, she has perfect vision. And like supercentenarians, she has decreased hearing and the skin on her hands is very thin, velvety, emphasizes Dr. De la Peña. Throughout the conversations, Doña Teodora has shown at all times that the mental faculties of she are preserved. In addition to having a lot of faith, one of her customs is to pray the rosary every Friday. One of the great memories of her is when she made her first communion. She would love for her granddaughter María Dolores to get married in the church and to be able to attend the ceremony. She finds herself wanting to live longer, and so she has been telling it by having a chocolate donut to her son, her granddaughter and her doctor. And the three of them promised her that the next day they would take her to have a chocolate with churros, which is what she likes the most. All of this research and testimonies from the supercentenarians are collected in the Guide to Living Healthily for 120 Years, written by the doctor De la Peña and that the Vergara publishing house (Penguin Random House) is going to launch. María Dolores, her granddaughter, who is also a lawyer, authorized the disclosure and disclosure of her data, since she believes that her grandmother’s true story can help humanity, and that if so it is worth cooperating. De la Peña, in addition to professor of cardiology and academic, he is a Cum Laude doctor and writer. He has been awarded the Gold Badge of the Association of Coronary Patients (APACOR) and the Bronze Medal of the Society of International Studies (SEI). The European Institute of Health and Social Welfare is an independent institution, where Nobel Prize winners have participated. , ministers of different political groups and members of the European Parliament, among others.
