She was 122 years old when she died, in 1997. The essential question, according to authors Xiao Dong, Brandon Milholland, and Jan Vijg, is whether or not our maximum lifespan is flexible, like that of some organisms, or whether biological factors mean that limit is fixed.

Humans are unlikely to ever blow out more than 125 candles on their birthday cake, according to research that suggests that our lifespan has already hit its natural limit.

For thousands of years, throughout recorded history, people have searched for a way to live longer. And we've made remarkable strides, especially in the past century and a half or so. But we may now be butting up against a natural limit to the human lifespan, according to an analysis published October 5 in Nature.

In a statement released by the university, Vijg says that while there is no reason to think that the ongoing increase in maximum lifespan will end soon, the data strongly suggests that it's already been attained and that this happened in the 1990s..

After remaining fairly constant for most of human history, life. expectancy (the average number of years a person can expect. to live) has nearly doubled in the past century. The maximum. life span—the longest number of years a human being has. lived—has increased spectacularly as well. There is little dis-. agreement over these facts. Scholarly opinion diverges, howev-. er, as to whether these increases will continue or whether. human longevity is approaching its limit.
