Living to 100? Not infrequently in the future


According to a recent study in The Lancet published a weekly peer-reviewed medical journal, living to 100 would only occur more frequently in the future. Especially for young people of today. The study reported that half of today's youth who live born after 2000 and living in the industrialized countries, which is made up of three numbers. Additionally, those born since 2007 expected to live on average to the ripe old age of 104. This does not mean extending life in hospital beds, rather than the quality of life should also be improved.

However, some experts, the results were a little too optimistic. Dr. Harrison Bloom, a senior associate at the International Longevity Center in New York, for example, had this to say: accept "There is no reason to believe that more than half the population can today to 100, but this requires a better diet , a healthier and the constant improvement of the environment. This lifestyle would certainly mean less obesity. diabetes and obesity epidemic is now a reality. Many people die earlier than their projected service life would have been. "

However, even the critics can not deny that more and more people live outside of her 100th Birthday, and that their quality of life increased. This means that changes in the life plan, around the corner. For example, while it makes sense to go in 50 years to retirement, when you expect in your 80s that all the changes you are likely to arise as in the past age of 100 years to live.
