In theory, you can live to 150 years old, but now the theory has been broken, and China people have created miracles, ha! From China ——256 years old, according to the records of the Chen Nice World Records, the oldest person reported is Li Qingyuan, a longevity qigong health worker in China. Born in the 18th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi, he died in the 24th year of the Republic of China (1679- 1935) at the age of 256. Li Qingyuan was born in Yunnan, and settled in Kaixian County, Sichuan in his 90s, until his death. Liu Chengxun, a native of Kaixian County, Sichuan Province, paid a special visit to the old man on 1925. Liu's interview and reminiscence articles were published in the sixth issue of Qigong magazine 1986, and there was also 1000 words of Immortality dictated by the birthday girl. After the death of the old man, some newspapers in Beijing reported on the topic of "the longest-lived person on earth", but it was doubted and denied by Guinness World Records at that time, and was later confirmed by many textual researches.

According to the statistics in 2000, there are 10,000 centenarians in China. According to the latest statistics of the United Nations, the global elderly population is 629 million, accounting for 10%. In 2002, there were about 265,438+00,000 centenarians in the world, with an average of 33.39 per million people. Gong Laifa, Guizhou, China, died at the age of 1.996; Li Qinglian, a medicine farmer in Qingchengshan, Sichuan, died at the age of 154. Iranian old woman Mohsen, 1997 16 1 year old; There was a man named Manping in Japan who lived for 242 years, his wife was 22 1 year-old, his son 196, his daughter-in-law 193, his grandson 15 1 year-old, and his daughter-in-law 138. Li Qingyuan, a scholar of traditional Chinese medicine in China, died at the age of 256 at 1933. The above proves that people who live to 100 or even 200 years old have made undeniable achievements. According to Xinmin Evening News, according to historical records, the oldest person in the world is Bk Frem Kahn of Britain, who lived for 209 years and experienced 12 dynasties (but strangely, it is not recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records published in Britain, the author's note). How long is the average life expectancy of ordinary people? Scientists believe that it can be measured by the following methods: first, according to the age of sexual maturity, it is 14- 15 years old, that is, 140- 150 years old; Second, according to the growth age, it is seven times that of 20- 25 years old, that is, 140- 175 years old; Third, according to the number of cell divisions, it is 50 times the average cycle of each cell division of 2.4 years, that is, 120 years old. More experts prefer the third algorithm. 1994 At the seminar on "Molecular View of Aging" held in Berlin, Germany in February, when answering the question "How long is the life span of people", the answer of more than 40 life scientists attending the conference was: theoretically speaking, everyone can live to 1 10.

130 years old, India found the longest life span in the world (Ocean Forum July 3, 20021day)

According to the residents of Brown Village in Himachal Pradesh, northern India, the old lady Dai Fudiwei who lives in this village is at least 130 years old. If her age can be confirmed, she will be the oldest person in the world, 14 years older than the oldest woman known in China.

How long can we live?

American scientists believe that even with the continuous progress of science, human life expectancy will hardly reach 100 years, at least in the next century. The average life expectancy of people born in this century is 85 years.

Oleshansky, a professor of public health care at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said that there are no magic drugs, hormones, antioxidants, genetic engineering or biotechnology in the world today, which can increase the life span of human beings to 120 years or 150 years, as predicted by some people. Follick, an expert on longevity at the University of California, San Francisco, totally agrees with Oleshansky's point of view, saying that human beings are "super longevity" is simply "nonsense".

But Oleshansky does not deny that there are some encouraging facts. He told the annual meeting of the American Association for the Development of Science in San Francisco that since 1900, the average life expectancy of human beings has increased by 30 years due to the improvement of medical standards. For example, the life expectancy of American girls born in 1900 is only 48.9 years, while that of girls born in 1995 is 79 years. Ole Shanski reported in the forthcoming issue of Science this week that it will take at least 200 years for French and Japanese-born babies to live to 1000. It will be 600 years before babies born in America can join this century-old club. The reason for this difference is that in these three countries, the rate of death rate decline is different. From 1985 to 1995, the mortality rate in France decreased by 1.5%, in Japan by 1.2%, and in the United States by only 0.4%. According to this data, the average life expectancy of French people will reach 85 years in 2033, Japan in 2035 and the United States in 2 182.
