Researchers from Singapore biotech company Gero and the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York, used artificial intelligence to study human resilience, and after going through the medical data of hundreds of thousands of volunteers they say they have an estimate for the maximum age a human can reach.
Factoring in age, illness, and lifestyle, they found that the body’s ability to recover gave out completely between 120 and 150 years old, making 150 their estimate for the longest anyone could live. That limit might not last; drugs that could theoretically let someone live for up to 200 years are being tested.
