The first Canadian to pass the venerable age of 130 has already been born, and was likely born in the 1960s, according to a new study.
The maximum human life expectancy is far from being reached, and after a drop due to the pandemic, it should recover, researchers have already estimated, according to what reported “The Telegraph ” Wednesday.
But new research, carried out by Dr. David McCarthy of the University of Georgia, has set itself the challenge of predicting the maximum age that certain generations could reach.
According to him, the first Canadian to exceed the age of 130 would have been born in the 1960s. On the other hand, the first Canadian to cross this milestone would have been born in the 1970s.
If women traditionally live longer than men, it could be the result of various lifestyle factors, but they could biologically outgrow women, a recent study has found.
Currently, the record for the longest-lived person is held by Jeanne Calment, a Frenchwoman who died in 1997 at the age of 122 years and 164 days. His record has not been broken in 25 years.
