Aging stops at the age of 105, according to a study

The biological limit of human longevity is a mystery, if it exists (Photo: Shutterstock) "width =" 620 "/> At the age of 105, the aging is interrupted. But, according to a survey conducted by the University of Rome La Sapienza and published by the journal "Science" Thursday 28/06, once reached the age of 105, aging is interrupted, since the [19659003] This means that after this age it is virtually impossible to say how long people will live. "There is a biological limit to human life,

The badysis was done between 2012 and 2015, based on data from 3886 people in the age group of 105 years, in the With this, researchers have discovered how age i risk of death, but that at any given time (after 105 years), this chance stops.

"By For example, at age 50, the risk of dying next year is three times greater than when we are 30. And when we reach 60 or 70, the chances of dying double every eight years. If you are lucky enough to live 100 years, your chances of moving to the next birthday are 60%, "says the report. "

A similar study on the risk of death at more extreme ages was conducted with other species of animals, such as insects, suggesting that there is an evolutionary explanation "The discovery of the limit to aging, according to Barbi," not only gives a clear and certain answer on mortality rates, but also crucial for understanding mechanisms based on human longevity and future development. "

theories of aging. "

For her, it is the first" confirmation of the role played by selective survival, that is, the survival of the less fragile or vulnerable "to disease or death." he concluded.
