Madeline Paldo is 100 years old and has worked for over 80 years. She believes work is what has kept her going well into old age. She said she worked from age 18 until she was 99 years old.
According to research by Harvard University, positive relationships often result in a longer life span. Dr Sofiya Milman, who is an associate professor of medicine and genetics and director of human longevity studies at the Institute for Aging Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, says that there are biological factors that contribute to longevity.
Paldo, the centenarian, says she loves going out to dinner and family events with her children. She recently attended a wedding and goes to Dunkin Donuts every Sunday with her son to meet friends, which she looks forward to every week.
