Genetic research has found an increase in aging in countries with long-lived populations.
According to new medical research conducted by the American magazine Nature Aging, people living in the world are touching the upper limits of life expectancy.
According to a research report published in the US news agency Associated Press, researchers in medical technology and genetics research have found an increase in age shrinking in countries with the longest-lived populations.
SJ Olshinsky, a researcher at the University of Illinois at Chicago involved in the research in the journal Nature Aging, presented the study We may have to reevaluate when people should retire and how much they will need to live their lives.
Mark Hayward, a researcher at the University of Texas who was not involved in the study, agreed that it’s always possible that a breakthrough could push survival to greater heights, but we don’t have that now.
Life expectancy is an estimate of how many years a human being can expect to live, assuming that the death rate remains constant.
In the new study, Olshinsky and his research colleagues looked at life expectancy estimates for 1990 to 2019 from a database maintained by the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research.
The researchers focused on the eight places in the world where the most people live: Australia, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain and Switzerland.
The US is not in the top 40 countries, but because we live here, the US is included in the list, Olshinsky added.
According to estimates, human life expectancy in the United States could increase dramatically this century.
Women live longer than men, and life expectancy is still improving at a slower rate, the researchers report.
Researchers also believe that America is more problematic because it faces many problems, such as drug addiction and obesity, which make it difficult for some people to get proper medical care, and these problems affect the general public. Kills before reaching old age.
Elaine Crimmins, a gerontology expert at the University of Southern California, agreed with the study’s findings via email.
Olshinsky has said that studies show how long most people live, with former US President Jimmy Carter passing the 100-year-old milestone last week.
A little more than 2 percent of Americans passed the 100-year mark in 2019, compared with 5 percent in Japan and 9 percent in Hong Kong, Olshinsky said.
Experts say that it is likely that the number of centenarians will increase in the coming decades, but this is due to population growth.
The percentage of people who will reach 100 will be limited, with less than 15 percent of women and 5 percent of men likely, Olshinsky said.
