The Hague
(AFP) - Dutch researchers claimed Thursday to have discovered the maximum age
"ceiling" for human lifespan, despite growing life expectancy because
of better nutrition, living conditions and medical care.
Mining data
from some 75,000 Dutch people whose exact ages were recorded at the time of
death, statisticians at Tilburg and Rotterdam's Erasmus universities pinned the
maximum ceiling for female lifespan at 115.7 years.
Men came in
slightly lower at 114.1 years in the samples taken from the data which spans
the last 30 years, said Professor John Einmahl, one of three scientists
conducting the study.
"On
average, people live longer, but the very oldest among us have not gotten older
over the last thirty years," Einmahl told AFP.
"There
is certainly some kind of a wall here. Of course the average life expectancy
has increased," he said, pointing out the number of people turning 95 in
The Netherlands had almost tripled.
"Nevertheless,
the maximum ceiling itself hasn't changed," he said.
Lifespan is
the term used to describe how long an individual lives, while life expectancy
is the average duration of life that individuals in an age group can expect to
have -- a measure of societal wellbeing.
The Dutch
findings come in the wake of those by US-based researchers who last year
claimed a similar age ceiling, but who added that exceptionally long-lived
individuals were not getting as old as before.
Einmahl and
his researchers disputed the latter finding, saying their conclusions deduced
by using a statistical brand called "Extreme Value Theory", showed
almost no fluctuation in maximum lifespan.
Einmahl
said however there were still some people who had bent the norm, like
Frenchwomen Jeanne Calment who died at the ripe old age of 122 years and 164
days.
Calment
remains the oldest verified woman to date.
Extreme
Value Theory is a brand of statistics that measures data and answers questions
at extreme ends of events such as lifespan or disasters.
Einmahl
said his group's findings will be submitted for publication in a peer review
magazine "within the next month or so."

“… 3 - Longer Life is Going to Happen, But…
Here is one that is a review. We keep bringing it up because Humans don't believe it. If you're going to start living longer, there are those who are frightened that there will be overpopulation. You've seen the way it is so far, and the geometric progression of mathematics is absolute and you cannot change it. So if you look at the population of the earth and how much it has shifted in the last two decades, it's frightening to you. What would change that progression?
The answer is simple, but requires a change in thinking. The answer is a civilization on the planet who understands a new survival scenario. Instead of a basic population who has been told to have a lot of children to enhance the race [old survival], they begin to understand the logic of a new scenario. The Akashic wisdom of the ages will start to creep in with a basic survival scenario shift. Not every single woman will look at herself and say, "The clock is ticking," but instead can say, "I have been a mother 14 times in a row. I'm going to sit this one out." It's a woman who understands that there is no loss or guilt in this, and actually feels that the new survival attribute is to keep the family small or not at all! Also, as we have said before, even those who are currently ignorant of population control will figure out what is causing babies to be born [Kryon joke].
Part of the new Africa will be education and healing, and eventually a zero population growth, just like some of the first-world nations currently have. Those who are currently tied to a spiritual doctrine will actually have that doctrine changed (watch for it) regarding Human birth. Then they will be able to make free choice that is appropriate even within the establishment of organized religion. You see, things are going to change where common sense will say, "Perhaps it would help the planet if I didn't have children or perhaps just one child." Then the obvious, "Perhaps I can exist economically better and be wiser with just one. It will help the one!" Watch for these changes. For those of you who are steeped in the tradition of the doctrines and would say that sounds outrageously impossible, I give you the new coming pope [Kryon smile]. For those of you who feel that uncontrolled procreation is inevitable, I encourage you to see statistics you haven't seen or didn't care to look at yet about what first-world countries have already accomplished on their own, without any mandates. It's already happening. That was number three.….”
