Research Proposes Upper Limit of 156 Years for Human Lifespan

A collaborative research team has estimated that human lifespan might be capped at 156 years, even if all known causes of aging were eradicated. Published in npj Aging, the study suggests that the unavoidable accumulation of random DNA mutations in cells, particularly in organs like the brain and heart with limited regeneration, would ultimately restrict longevity. This finding offers new perspectives on the fundamental limits of human life.
