More than half of babies born today in rich countries for the past 100 years are diagnosed and live a better treatment of diseases such as heart disease, prolong life, researchers believe.
Life expectancy has been through three decades or longer during the 20th Century has increased in countries like the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada and Japan and this trend will continue, according to a study published today in the British medical journal The Lancet. Without further improvements in life expectancy, three quarters of the children are her 75th Birthday brand, the German and Danish researchers wrote.
"The linear increase in record life expectancy of more than 165 years does not suggest a limit to the human life span ahead," said the lead researcher, Kaare Christensen, professor at the University of Southern Denmark Danish Aging Research Center at the magazine.
Better health care for seniors, particularly the United States, has the life of illnesses such as heart disease manageable in the time expanded and allow earlier detection and intervention, say the authors. Public health campaigns against smoking have also contributed to the longevity, they said.
People also live longer, without being severely disabled, according to scientists, with four health surveys in France.
The aging of society has left nations struggling to fund such programs for seniors, "said the expert. In Germany the number of people that is for every 100 persons of working age rose from 16 in 1956-29 and in 2006 should reach 60 by 2056, according to researchers.
Weeks of work shorter
Shorter working week to develop a long career in May continued longevity, they write.
"If people worked in their 70s and early 60s more than they do today, so most people just a few hours per week currently common" might work, say researchers.
Such a redistribution of work could help countries cope with economic demands of an aging society, even if they are not sufficient to meet these requirements, they said.
Christensen and his colleagues at the University of Rostock and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, both in Germany as the basis of their study on data since 2004. The research was funded by a grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. The Danish Research Center on Aging by the Velux Foundation, based in Switzerland supported.
