Children can expect up to 100 years old

A review of the evidence, the latest research was published in The Lancet, experts saw it, if current trends continue, life expectancy, more than half the children born in the homes of wealthy people expect to continue to live 100th

They point out that during the 20th Century, the developed countries experienced substantial increases in life expectancy of 30 years and older, while the longer-term illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. Nevertheless, an earlier diagnosis and better treatment will ensure that people are able to survive.

The rate of death in Japan, Sweden and Spain, countries with more life to beat, even without an improvement in the health, three quarters of the children who live to 75 years.

However, to continue, with current trends, rank, most children in the developed world, born after 2000, probably playing in her 100th Anniversary.

Professor Kaare Christensen of The Danish Aging Research Center at the University of Southern Denmark, who have guided the study and his co-authors say that it does not slow down the increase in longevity of life since 1840.

According to scientists, the rich nations had yet to see the mortality rate decline in the population over 80 years.

Data from more than 30 developed countries shows that the probability of living 80-90-years in Germany was 15% for women and 12% for men in 1950, while these figures increased between 1950 and 2002.

Finally, the researchers said, because people are living longer, longevity is not final if it with a better quality of life, as she accompanies under 85 years, now seem to suffer from limitations and disability in later life than previous generations, despite the rise in chronic diseases. A contradiction is described by the researchers in the four following ways:
• Before the diagnosis, improved treatments and better results because of illness, so they turn off less.
• It is estimated that 14-22% can be associated decline in the total disability attributed to the reduction of disability associated with cardiovascular disease.
• Increased use of technology to help seniors become more mobile, including improvements to the quality of accommodation and accessibility of buildings, some diseases that are less functional limitations or disabilities.
• Finally, the socio-economic changes, such as increasing levels of higher education and income among the elderly could, including the improvement of living conditions and job contribute to disability.

According to the authors, people have today under the age of 85, not only living longer but are usually better able to manage their daily activities than did previous generations.
