Scientists assume that people will live up to 140 years

Scientists are sure that humanity has not yet reached the maximum life expectancy. Scientists from the University of Georgia and South Florida (USA) assume that people will live for 140 years.

They managed to come to this conclusion with the help of a mathematical model: Gompertz's statistical law. According to him, the mortality rate of a group increases exponentially with the age of this group

PLOS ONE writes about it.

After age 50, the risk of dying begins to double every 10 years. The maximum Gompertz indicator is considered to be a person reaching a certain age, from which mortality rates no longer increase.

History knows several cases of delaying the increase in the probability of death. The first occurred among people born at the beginning of the second half of the 19th century. It was more pronounced in women. During this period, GMA grew by 5 years. The second episode referred to people born between 1910 and 1950.

According to the mathematical model, people born after 1950 experience an even greater increase in GMA. Records of modern longevity will be broken after 2073: then people will live up to 140 years.
