A new research has revealed that hundred-year life expectancy is increasing with the passage of time. The research was published in a medical journal, The Lancet. The research tells that this proposition is for the people who are young right now. It means that the people, who are currently young, have more expectancy of 100-year life.
The research told that the younger generations who were born in 2000 and belong to developed nations have life expectancy of 100 years and the children who are born in year 2007 and onwards have the probability of life of 104 years and so on. The research also claimed that the enlarged life-span will not mean that the elderly people will be lying on the beds or will need “life-support machines” to continue but they will increase in their vigor and health as well.
Some critics regard the results as having a lit bit of exaggeration or optimism. The people will adopt the life style which is enriched with more and more awareness and consciousness of the environment and healthier living standards which would further lead to increased life span as a natural phenomenon. And there is nothing “mysterious” about it which the study has “revealed”.
Even a naive can say this using the “common sense” that people will touch triple figure. The change in life’s plan would bring the people to understand the mechanism of life expectancy. The new life style based on health awareness will lead to people with lesser weight and diabetes. It would certainly enhance the life- expectancy and there are no “mathematical formulae” required to predict the above-mentioned proposition.
