Study Reveals Human Life Expectancy Reaches Plateau

New research suggests that despite medical advances, significant increases in human lifespan are unlikely in the near future.

The study, published in Nature Aging, indicates that life expectancy improvements have slowed in countries with the longest-living populations.
Researchers found that since 1990, the average lifespan in high-income nations has only increased by 6.5 years.
The United States shows particularly slow progress, with life expectancy gains nearly stagnant due to factors like drug overdoses and obesity.
Experts argue that without breakthroughs in slowing biological aging, further significant life extension is implausible.
The study emphasizes the need to focus on extending healthy life years rather than merely increasing lifespan.
