Are you willing to live to 100?


A new report from the Danish Research Center on Aging, says that may shock 100 candle old news for children in developed countries.

Life expectancy has been rising for the inhabitants of developed countries over the last two hundred years. If this trend continues, said researchers at the University of Southern Denmark's Danish Aging Research Center, and then press your hundredth may be old hat.

They say that most babies like France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Japan, the United States and Canada since 2000 were born in the developed countries that have had a good chance of seeing a hundred.

Currently, the World Health is referred to Japan as the nation's longest life expectancy. For children who were born in Japan in 2007, is the life expectancy of eighty-three. Here in the United States is the average life expectancy of only one hundred forty-eight.

The only thing that could pose the biggest threat to longevity? Obesity. Although life expectancy in developed countries (and is) has been on the rise, obesity (which also can affect above).

If more people in the three figures, researchers estimate that to see, instead of three life stages - childhood, adulthood and old age - the four of us. Age can be divided into young, still active elderly population and older, begins to gradually reduce the population. If the very old people are healthy? Hard to say. There are very few data on the health of people over eighty years, in comparison with the data that we have the lives of up to eighty-five. But early detection and better treatment of many health problems suggests that the very elderly can continue to be healthy ... 100 up to years and beyond!
