The problem is that the studies generally assume birth certs, and by extension all govt data, is accurate. There’s no way for peer reviewers to catch that kind of systematic flaw that’s not the fault of the study itself.

The study in question, must provide some sources for its claims and those can be peer-reviewed. Like that majority of centenarians are from “areas with poor health, high levels of poverty”.
