For example, some individuals of the Galapagos tortoise live more than 175 years, [7] and some individuals of the bowhead whale more than 200 years. [8] Some scientists cautiously suggest that the human body can have sufficient resources to live up to 150 years. [9] [10]
Those under 50, who will have the most time to take advantage of emerging research, therapeutics, and interventions, can likely expect to live up to 100, says Dr. Evelyne Bischof, an internal ...
In humans, this finely tuned resource balance grants us a maximum lifespan of about 120 years. But that doesn’t mean we can’t alter biology and intervene in these processes of aging, and maybe ...
The authors further concluded that the species reaches sexual maturity at about 150 years of age. [47] Invertebrate species which continue to grow as long as they live (e.g., certain clams, some coral species) can on occasion live hundreds of years: A bivalve mollusk (Arctica islandica) (aka "Ming", lived 507±2 years. [48] [49])
A smaller fraction of adults die at 20, at 30, at 40, at 50, and so on across the lifespan. As a result, we live longer on average... In every way we can measure, human lifespans are longer today than in the immediate past, and longer today than they were 2000 years ago... age-specific mortality rates in adults really have reduced substantially."
“I actually did some calculations years ago and found that if we could cure human aging, average human life span would be more than 1,000 years,” he tells Scientific American. “Maximum life ...
Life extension is the concept of extending the human lifespan, either modestly through improvements in medicine or dramatically by increasing the maximum lifespan beyond its generally-settled biological limit of around 125 years. [1]
