Living to 100 to share?


Report provides, most children born in 2000 in rich countries could live for 100 years
October 1, 2009 - completion of 100 in May, it was thick enough for most children born in rich countries since 2000, according to a new report.

"If the increase in life expectancy in developed countries over the past two centuries, to the entire 21st century, most children since 2000 in France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, born in the United States, Canada, Japan and other countries with long life will celebrate its 100th birthday, says the report published in the journal The Lancet.

The report comes from researchers including Kaare Christensen, MD, Danish Research Center on Aging at the University of Southern Denmark.

Christensen and his colleagues note that life expectancy in most industrialized countries continues to grow and shows no signs of slowing down. But also emphasize that it is unclear whether obesity is to reduce the increase in life expectancy also increased.

Team Christensen provides that companies see life as a set of three stages - childhood, adulthood and old age - and start killing the proportion of "old" age "third (young, elderly) and very old (the oldest old). "

"To live a very long life, are not the prerogative of future generations away - very long product life are probably the fate of most people today in developed countries," the researchers write.

People are healthier in old age "fourth"? May be too early to tell.

Christensen and his colleagues say it is "rare" data on health between the 85 and older. But they also point to early diagnosis and better treatment of many diseases, including cancer and heart disease.

For the record, Japan has given birth to the world's longest life expectancy - 83 years for children in 2007, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

The life expectancy of 77.9 years for babies born in the United States in 2007, according to preliminary data of the CDC.

Children born today to live to 100?


If a child born in 2109 hours live on average? (or terminator robot fighters and killing them?)

More than half the children born today in the UK and other rich countries will be 100 years, say researchers.

Leaving aside the threats such as robots, nanobots, quasars, asteroids and volcanoes VEI 8 then I think, an estimated life expectancy of 100 years is too conservative. We are leading useful for biotechnology need to rejuvenate the worn-out body parts. Look at the post, I simply suggest ways to repair the muscles, the muscle stem cells. I think the cure for cancer a possible revival of safety levels of youth activity on stem cells, thus allowing the repair much better.

The leader of this study is that these forecasts on long-term trend towards increasing life expectancy.

Were Professor Kaare Christensen of the Danish Aging Research Center at the University of Southern Denmark, who led the study said, the life expectancy since 1840 and there was no evidence of this trend slowing down.

The problem with this trend is that the nature of advances to extend this life change with time. So far, the type of instruments is used to prolong life (drinking water, such as antibiotics, vaccines, better food), not directly repair the effects of aging. But this change in the lives of most readers of this too. Cure for cancer, therapies for the repair of the musculoskeletal system, replacement and organ growth are among the treatments that are much earlier than 100 years. This therapy is life beyond 100 years.

Biogerontologist Aubrey D.N.J. Gray means that achieve actuarial escape velocity, where the rate of progress of biotechnology for the repair of the body to prolong the lives of at least as fast as our bodies age. Rates of repair is higher than the rate of aging, and therefore actually becomes younger each year. If over the next 100 years (going on and I expect will be a disaster for the people blocking annihilate or destroy) the industrial civilization, therefore children are born and live thousands of years.
