Abstract：The ratio of centenarians to total population and the geographical distribution of centenarians are important indexes to judge a longevity area. The spatial distribution of centenarians in Sichuan and Chongqing districts is a gathering type distribution, the Chengdu Plain has been an intensive area of centenarians and longevous elders since ancient times. The ratio of centenarians in these districts shows a decreasing trend and a stair type distribution from the western to the eastern. The northwest plateau of Sichuan and the Chengdu Plain with highest ratio of centenarians are among longevity areas of China. The former may be called as plateau mountain type longevity area , its main causes include the prolongation of growth period resulting from cold climate, the active effects of inaccessible social environment and simply dietary structure, and the role of adverse natural conditions in population structure. The latter, as plain hilly type longevity area, its main causes include the more developed economy, the higher living standard, and the custom of advocating Confucianism culture.
