Scientists Reveal The Maximum Age A Human Can Possibly Live To
The “maximum age” that humans can live to, according to experts, is sure to thrill those who suffer from thanatophobia, which is an extreme fear of dying.
The average American lives to be 78.39 years old, according to data. In the meantime, life expectancy is somewhat greater in the UK (81.24 years) and Canada (81.65 years).
The good news is that, based to current studies, you may live much past these typical expectancies if you find yourself obsessively counting down the seconds.
Erasmus universities in Tilburg and Rotterdam recently conducted research to determine how long a human body could survive if it wasn’t interrupted by disease or an unintentional damage.
And the response may surprise you.
In order to do this, the researchers examined 75,000 deaths that occurred in the Netherlands between 2010 and 2017.
In order to determine when a person’s maximum lifetime plateaus, the researchers recorded each person’s age of death.
After painstakingly going over every document, they found that the plateau typically occurred when a person reached 90, but it didn’t indicate their life was finished.
A person’s maximal lifetime peaks in their nineties, but that doesn’t imply it’s over, the researchers concluded after accounting for the age of the study participants at death.
A human being is unlikely to live above the age of 115, according to the researchers’ initial findings. Additionally, they found that biological women lived a little longer than men.
Men were predicted to live to a maximum age of 114.1 years, while women’s lifespans peaked at 115.7 years.
Commenting on the findings, Professor John Einmahl, one of three scientists conducting the study, told AFP: “On average, people live longer, but the very oldest among us have not gotten older over the last thirty years.”
“There is certainly some kind of a wall here. Of course, the average life expectancy has increased. Nevertheless, the maximum ceiling itself hasn’t changed.”
Professor Einmahl admitted that there are cases of people surviving longer than the recommended maximum lifespans, even though the researchers’ conclusions were sound.
As you may already be aware, Japanese supercentenarian Jiroemon Kimura lived to be 116 years and 54 days old, making him the oldest man ever confirmed by Guinness World Records.
Ethel Caterham, who is 116 years and 48 days old, is now the oldest woman alive in the world. Born in 1909, she was King Edward VII’s final surviving subject.
Born in Hampshire, the British native resided in the UK until she was eighteen, at which point she left England to work as an au pair in India.
The world’s oldest living man, João Marinho Neto of Brazil (born October 5, 1912), congratulated her on her 116th birthday when she survived COVID in 2020.
