New studies say it will be normal to live for over 120 years!

The age of human life can continue to grow, going beyond the limit of 115 years. Two biologists from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, have put this hypothesis to test a statistical analysis of over a centenarian data collected from 1968 to today in Japan, France, the United States, and Great Britain. This study has opened up a huge and centuries - long debate on the maximum length of human life and has always divided experts.

“Studies so far have led us to conclude that there must be a limit, about 115-120 years of age”, explains Stephanie Maggi, president of the European Association of Geriatry (geriatria deals with the study of old age diseases and aging processes in general) and director of research at the National Research Council's Institute of Neuroscence.

Two Canadian scholars disagree with this theory, Bryan G. Hughes and Siegfried Hekim, under whom there is no evidence of a limit for the duration of life: If this threshold were true, it must still be reached or identified.

“We don't know what the limit for age can be, say two biologists, but there are lines showing that average and maximum life can continue to grow in the near future. ”

This is the opinion of Luca Deiana, a molecular biologist at the University of Sasari, who has been engaged in centenarian studies for years.

“minus 115 years has no meaning, Deiana says, and I don't rule out that in the future they can be exceeded. But we need to remember that life is not just a statistical account, it's something we don't fully know”.

The “Recipe” of longevity is very long, but incomplete: there are many aspects that can affect the length of life and that we should consider it.

“Hipotase that life can be extended beyond the limit of 115 years, in theory it can be biologically reliable”, Maggi adds. But we're actually dealing with a more serious problem. We should consider that exposure to risk factors, such as environment, diabetes, and obesity among children, affects life expectancy. In the future, the elderly in rich countries will live less, as a result of various pathologies”.

According to research published in the <x0British Medical Journal”, intelligent people will live a long and low risk of death from heart disease or cancer caused by smoking. Previous studies have shown that on average individuals with the highest intellectual cofficiency tend to live longer, but these are based only on adult age. Researchers found that children with higher intelligence are linked to a lower risk of death: Death risk has been reduced by 28 percent for breathing diseases, 25 percent from coronary heart disease, and 24 percent from heart attacks. For researchers “needs to be seen whether IQ signals are a sign of something deeper or perhaps genetics related to life expectancy”.
