The study objective to investigate hematological parameters and determine the relationships between these indicators and body composition in centenarians with coronary artery disease. This work is a cross-sectional study, which enrolled 239 patients over 90 years old hospitalized with a diagnosis of coronary artery disease; most of them (67,8%) were women. The age of the patients ranged from 90 to 106 years, averaging 92,8 (±2,5) years.

A cross-sectional study of 270 patients from 90 to 106 years old, hospitalized with CAD diagnosis, was performed. The mean estimated GFR according to CKD-EPI was 51,4±14,2 ml/min, MDRD - 50,9±13,4, BIS1 - 38,4±7,7, Cockroft-Gault - 40,6±12,6 ml/min.

Normal BMD indices in the lumbar spine were observed in 40,9%, osteoporosis - in 26,9%, osteopenia - in 32,2% of patients. Normal BMD indices in the proximal femur were observed in 21,3%, osteoporosis - in 39,9%, and osteopenia - in 38,8% of patients.
