Galicia launches Regace registry to study centenarian population

The Xunta de Galicia has established the Galician Registry of Centenarians (Regace) to study the sociodemographic, clinical, and epidemiological profiles of residents aged 100 or older. Galicia currently hosts more than 1,800 centenarians, accounting for approximately 12.08 percent of Spain’s centenarian population.

Managed by the Consellería de Sanidade, the registry will consolidate data from various administrative and health sources into a single system. The initiative aims to identify factors contributing to longevity, improve healthcare planning, and facilitate international collaboration on aging research. While the data will be accessible to researchers and institutions under specific regulations, the information remains confidential and will not be made public.
