âData on Extreme Human Aging Is Rotten From the Inside Out,â Longevity Expert Says

Gizmodo

Summary

Nutrition label

74% Informative

Saul Justin Newman is a senior research fellow at the University College London Centre for Longitudinal Studies .

His research finds that most of the claims about people living over 105 are wrong.

The best place to reach 105 in England is Tower Hamlets , with more than all the rich places in England put together.

The way out of this is to involve physicists to develop a measure of human age that doesnât depend on documents.

We can then use that to build metrics that help us measure human ages.

Longevity data are used for projections of future lifespans, and those are used to set everyoneâs pension rate.
