Human Lifespans: The lifespan of humans is not going to increase in the 21st century. A new American study has made a scary revelation. In which it has been said that there is not expected to be a significant increase in the age of humans in this century. Even in countries like Japan, where people live the longest, the pace of aging has slowed down in the last 30 years.
This research by the University of Illinois found that by the end of the 21st century, only 15% of women and 5% of men will be able to survive till the age of 100. Let us know what this study says…
Human age is decreasing
In this study published in the US scientific magazine Nature Aging earlier this month, researchers analyzed data from 8 countries including Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and Hong Kong. These are all the countries where people live the longest. In this research, they found that between 1990 and 2019, the average aging rate was 6.5 years. In the 20th century, due to improvements in sanitation and the medical sector, the aging rate was 3 years per decade, but it has decreased in the last 30 years.
