. Aging, an inevitable and universal aspect of human existence, has long been a subject of fascination and debate among philosophers, scientists, and laypeople alike. While some view aging as a natural and inevitable process, others perceive it as a disease or condition to be conquered. This ongoing discourse, fueled by advancements in gerontology and the pursuit of longevity, delves into the complexities of aging, its impact on human health, and the ethical implications of potential interventions.

Has the maximum lifespan for a human already been reached? Maybe not, said a study of Italian centenarians published Thursday that found that human longevity is slowly increasing. Scientists have long debated whether or not the ultimate lifespan in people has been attained. A 2016 study in the journal Nature argued that it has, in 1997, when Frenchwoman Jeanne Calmant died at the record-breaking age of 122. Lifespan. Photo: Wasteless Future But the new findings in the journal Science point to the possibility for extended human longevity, and that our species’ lifespans may increase over time. Based on data from more than 3,800 centenarians in Italy, researchers found the risk of death slows, and even plateaus, above age 105. “As we age, our health and risks of death get worse faster and faster. But at extreme ages, they stop getting worse,” said co-author Kenneth Wachter, a professor of statistics at the University of California, Berkeley. “They don’t get better, but they stop getting worse. They level out — it’s called a plateau,” he told AFP. Researchers studied data on all inhabitants of Italy aged 105 and older between 2009 and 2015 — those born between 1896 and 1910, for a total of 3,836 documented cases, said the study. Focusing on mortality among people born in the same years, over time they found slight declines in mortality rate. This suggests as time went on, people were living a bit longer than those born in prior years. “The slow but distinct improvements over time that we see in the level of the plateau beyond age 105 give hope that a fixed limit to lifespan is not currently in view,” explained Wachter. Better health, survival Socioeconomic factors and improved medical care could be factors in the lengthening human lifespan. But “similar mortality plateau patterns in extreme age are observed in other species, hinting at common structural and evolutionary explanations,” said the report. If the research is confirmed by other studies, that could mean the limit of the human lifespan has yet to be reached. Life expectancy globally has risen almost continuously since the 19th century but has levelled off in recent decades. Babies born in the United States today, for example, can expect to live to nearly 79 compared to 47 for Americans born in 1900. But people who live to extreme old age are rare. Since Calmant’s death, the general trend for the oldest person in the world has been to reach about 115 years old. Wachter said the findings do not point to a new potential lifespan limit. “Our findings do not say anything about ages beyond about 113,” he told AFP. “But they do provide some hope that increased understanding of interactions between genetic variants and medical and behavioural factors may contribute to better health and survival for people in their 80s and 90s, 10 or 15 years from now.”
A mountain people renowned for their longevity and vigor, the Hunza of the Himalayas commonly live to be 100 or older, and cancer and degenerative disease are virtually unknown in their communities. G. T. Wrench, an English physician, searched for the wellspring of the Hunzas' fitness and health in the 1930s. He found the answers in the work of Dr. Robert McCarrison, who had been Director of Nutrition Research in India and had studied the Hunza people for many years. Their diet and their methods of food cultivation and soil preparation are the key as detailed in this timeless book, a lost classic newly returned to print.The Wheel of Health traces the agricultural techniques of the Hunzas from plants to humans, humans to soil, and soil to plants, exploring the farmers' renewal and protection of the soil. Dr. Wrench also examines drug-free methods of strengthening the immune system. These fact-based findings stem from knowledge acquired over countless generations and evidenced by the Hunzas' remarkable vitality. An effective approach to holistic health and disease prevention, this landmark book offers a balanced health alternative to modern fad diet books.
