Scientists work out maximum age a person can really live to – but can YOU guess how long?

Research by scientists has shown that a person can really live to the fullest.

Researchers from Singaporean biotech company Gero and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York, studied human resilience and the body’s ability to recover from damage in 2022.

Using AI to aid their research, they examined medical data from hundreds of thousands of volunteers to estimate a human’s maximum lifespan.

They assessed a number of factors to reach this number beyond just age, including the effects of illness, a person’s lifestyle and the human body’s ability to recover.

They found that the body’s ability to regenerate burned out somewhere between 120 and 150 years.

The development of drugs could slow the body’s aging process enough that a person could live up to 200 years, but that doesn’t mean 200 years will quickly become the norm.

Other studies into the science of aging suggest that the record for the world’s oldest human will likely be broken again before the start of the next millennium.

The Office for National Statistics claims that from 2020 to 2022, life expectancy at birth in Britain was 78.6 years for men and 82.6 years for women.

This is better than the US, where it is about 74.8 years and 80.2 years for men and women respectively.

The oldest known person to ever live is Jeanne Calment, who reached the age of 122 when she died in 1997.

Maria Branyas Morera, the world’s oldest person, celebrated her 117th birthday in March

In August, the world’s oldest living person, Maria Branyas Morera, died at the age of 117.

Branyas, who survived two pandemics, the Spanish flu and Covid of 1918, and two world wars, died peacefully in her sleep, according to her family.

She previously attributed her longevity to “order, peace” and “staying away from toxic people.”

Her impressive lifespan of 117 years is far greater than even the highest predicted in Britain.
