Scientists have stated that humans could extend their lives to 130-150 years. In addition, theoretically, it can go on forever, but there is one caveat.
New research published in the journal Royal Society Open Science… In it, scientists analyzed data on the so-called super-centenarians at the age of 110 years and older and 105 years and older.
It is generally accepted that the aging process of a person increases the risk of death over time as cells break down and diseases become more common.
So, if there is an age limit beyond which no one can survive, the study authors would see many people die at that age. However, they did not find such an age in the available data.
The new analysis suggests the risk of a death plateau at around 108 years of age and comes down to a 50/50 ratio comparable to a coin toss. Anthony Davison, professor of statistics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, noted that living another year after 110 years is “almost like flipping a coin “. In other words, in theory, humans can live forever, but in practice it probably never will.
According to the expert, thanks to advances in technology and medicine, people will be able to live longer. He believes that by the end of the century, humans could simply increase their lifespan to 130 years.
As reported OBOZREVATEL earlier, scientists found out that the secret of a mild course of coronavirus infection in centenarians may be in the immune system… Spanish experts analyzed samples of two people over 100 who had recovered from serious problems.
