LONDON, Nov 2: A recent study conducted by scientists from Singapore's Gero biotech company and the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York, has unveiled the potential maximum age a person can achieve. The researchers investigated human resilience and the body’s capacity to recover from damage, using artificial intelligence to analyze medical data from hundreds of thousands of volunteers.

Their findings indicate that the body's recovery capabilities begin to decline between the ages of 120 and 150 years. To arrive at this conclusion, the researchers assessed various factors, including the impact of illness, lifestyle choices, and the human body's resilience.

While advancements in pharmaceuticals may allow for the aging process to decelerate and theoretically enable individuals to live up to 200 years, experts caution that such a lifespan is unlikely to become commonplace in the near future. Additionally, other aging research suggests that the record for the world’s oldest person could be surpassed before the start of the next millennium.

According to the Office for National Statistics, life expectancy in the UK for the years 2020 to 2022 was 78.6 years for males and 82.6 years for females, surpassing that of the United States, where life expectancy stands at approximately 74.8 years for males and 80.2 years for females.

The oldest verified person in history was Jeanne Calment, who lived to be 122 years old before her death in 1997. In August, the world’s then-oldest verified living person, Maria Branyas Morera, passed away at the age of 117. Branyas survived both the 1918 Spanish flu and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as two world wars. According to her family, she died peacefully in her sleep, crediting her longevity to a life of "order, tranquillity," and avoiding "toxic people." Her remarkable lifespan significantly exceeds the highest life expectancy predictions in the UK.
