[tbc] The record for the maximum human lifespan has stayed unbroken since the 1990s but that might change, according to a new way of analysing mortality records
Get the most essential health and fitness news in your inbox every Saturday.The researchers looked at the age of death in groups of people who were born in the same year. Most previous studies have grouped people according to their year of death, but this can obscure trends because it merges people with different lifespans, says McCarthy.
For instance, someone born in 1910 hasn’t yet had the chance to reach 120 years, as they would only reach that age in the year 2030. People in these birth cohorts have benefitted from improvements in medicine since the end of the second world war, says McCarthy. We can’t predict how long that trend might continue from this kind of study, he says.
Vijg, however, says that the analysis depends on an assumption – that the risk of death per year, which for most of our lives rises exponentially with age, starts to plateau after people reach about 105. That assumption isn’t universally accepted, he says.
