Nature Aging Study Finds Life Expectancy Gains Slowing, Nearing Biological Limit
Oct 7, 2024, 03:30 PM
A new study published in Nature Aging reveals that the rise in human life expectancy has significantly slowed, particularly in wealthier nations. Despite medical advances, the trend of increasing life expectancy observed over the past 150 years is decelerating. The analysis, which examined data from nine regions worldwide over the past three decades, suggests that these nations may be nearing a biological limit for lifespan. Experts like S. Jay Olshansky, H. Beltran-Sanchez, and Prof. Brad Willcox indicate that without significant breakthroughs in slowing biological aging, radical human life extension remains unlikely this century. The study was also highlighted by @sciencemagazine and discussed by commentators such as Eric Topol and Jonathan Wosen.
