The purpose of this study was to compare mental health resources, activities of daily living, and social and economic resources in three age groups: centenarians, octogenarians, and sexagenarians. Two hundred and seventy-two older adults were assessed with the Older Americans Resources and Services Survey (OARS). Frequency analyses revealed that centanarians rated lower in social and psychological resources than the other two age groups.
