115 Years Max Human Life Span

While the number of people living to 100 and beyond is ever rising, the oldest people are living to about the same even tho there's many more of them

 

For decades now the oldest person on earth at any time tends to be 113 to 115 years old. While once in a while someone makes it to 116 or 117 (The oldest person ever lived to 122 but that was over 2 decades ago) in general 115 is where it ends

 

In fact the list of people who have lived to 115 is quite extensive. But People who passed 115 by even 1 year (116) the list suddenly shrinks significantly

 

What you have is more and more supercentnarians (someone 110 or older) and you'd expect that with a bigger pool more people would be getting older but hardly anyone ever passes 115

 

Some scientists think DNA accomulated damage and shrinking telemers put 115 as the absolute max age people can live with a very rare few with exceptional genes that pass it even further

 

This may explain why more and more people are living longer but the oldest people are not living longer.

 

ATM Japanese man Nonaka of 113 years is the oldest verified person on earth

Im gonna be the first person to make it to 200

I think if the average person is living longer with better medicine and nutrition and more ppl live to extremely old ages, but the oldest people (115) aren't living longer that suggests a real biological limit

 

We need a way to slow aging itself now to increase life expectancy much further

Haha it's funny when Jeane Calmente died 21 years ago ppl said with better medicine in no time someone would surpass her

 

No one has come close

 

A handful of people managed to surpass 115 living to 116, 117, a couple of people 118 and 119

 

But her age of 122 is clearly impressive and the oldest person ATM who's 113 is 9 years away from Calments record

Betty White is coming for that record

Haha when she turns 100 she has to live another 22 years to beat that record

 

Jeane Calmente had a scene in a movie at age 114 in which she was still walking (without a cane)

 

No other person with a certified age of 114 or older has been documented to still be able to walk on their own

 

By age 119 to 120 her health became really bad and by 121 they stopped televising her tv appearances and interviews because she was in really bad shape

 

I know someone who's 101.

 

Up until 100 her mind was fully there. Now just 1 year later she can't hold a conversation or remember who anyone is. She can't remember who I am. She deteriorated so fast

Off topic, but I keep reading Jo Calderone

Theres only so far medicine can take you. They need to figure out how to replicate our cells and rejuvenate our bodies. I have a potential way that I will patent when I figure out how realistic it is 

[Shipper 13,114]

I DO NOT WANT to get as old as that.  I want to die around 85 when I'm alert and I still can walk and not drink a million medicine a day.  

Society cannot sustain so many old people living longer and I would gladly fall in line for a shorter and sweeter life-span.

Personally, I'd rather die before turning into a walking veggie doe

i do not mean to disrespect old people but-

The problem is medicine helps manage conditions, health issues etc so what it does is prevent premature deaths

 

But more and more people are already dying of old age (not everyone's genes allow over 100 so for some people dying of old age at 85 doesn't mean they weren't healthy)

 

This is part of the reason I think life expectancy is not going up as fast as it was because if ppl already die of old age, there's not much more meds can do

 

The only way to expand life much further now is to help our DNA at the cellular level rejuvenate which of course will take many years of research

 

The fact that for so long now the oldest people are not getting older tells you there's a limit there (around 115) that meds cant do anything about

 

It used to be that the world only had a handful of people over 110 and a few lived to 115

 

Now there's countless over 110 and the oldest still generally live to 115. 

 

If there wasn't a limit the oldest should be living longer with a bigger pool but they aren't

Pretty sure i won't make it past like 75 (being extremely generous) 

so i might help ruin these statistics

People who live past 100 are the type of people that are more likely to have health and energy at older ages than usual to begin with

 

Someone who's already in a wheel chair at 80 and has no energy is probably not gonna live to 100 anyway much less 110 or 115

 

Jeanne Calmente the woman who lived to 122 was walking without a cane in a movie at age 114!

Well fairly good health, I'm 23 but I smoke, drink and all sorts so I'm kinda taking the piss  Healthcare these days is more and more exceptional though, especially here (England) but yeah
