SHANGHAI now has more than 1,400 centenarians, with the city’s oldest resident 115 years old.

This is thanks to healthy lifestyles, a sound medical system and care from their families, the Shanghai Gerontological Society said yesterday.

A total of 1,407 centenarians were registered in the city at the end of 2013, with 365 added as of June 30 this year, according to the society.
