weight of #centenarians in Austria (> 100 years old)

For women, body weights 52 kg (115 lb); heights 149 cm; BMI 22.8

Low weights are expected of course. But note low heights 167 cm, 149 cm (non-centenarian heights are 179 and 166 for men and women in Austria). One of explanations is that mTOR drives both growth and aging
