The Longevity Limit: Is This It? Has Human Life Expectancy Peaked?

Quick Take: A landmark study published in Nature Aging challenges long-held assumptions about humanity’s potential for radical life extension, revealing that life expectancy gains have decelerated markedly across the world’s longest-lived populations.
