A group of scientists have claimed that humans may very well be able to pull off living until the age of 130 in the very near future.
A new study involving several men and women who lived to their 90s and beyond found that chances of dying actually stop increasing once we hit 108.
In fresh research conducted for the Royal Society Open Science journal, scientists explained that the increasing number of ‘super-centenarians’ makes it possible that the maximum report age at death will rise to 130 years during this century.
This means that if living conditions continue to improve, the study suggests that some of us will reach the age of 130 before the year 2100.
Anthony Davison, the study’s lead researcher, said that once we hit 110 we have a 50-50 chance of living through the next year. However, it is already extremely unlikely a person will see their 130th birthday.
If a person reaches 110, the chances of making it to 130 are one in a million. The original study was conducted in 2021 when Silicon Valley’s Atlos Labs revealed they were looking into ways of reprogramming to reverse the ageing process.
