Russian researchers model theoretical human lifespan ceiling of up to 194 years
Researchers at Russia's Skolkovo Institute presented a model estimating that, if most aging hallmarks were eliminated, the median human lifespan could reach about 156 years. A paper in npj Aging, reported by Yahoo, suggested that removing somatic DNA mutations might raise the theoretical limit to 156 years.
NewsNation later echoed the finding, noting the model focused on eliminating all hallmarks except somatic mutations. The New York Post subsequently reported that the same study gave a broader estimate, placing the median lifespan between roughly 146 and 194 years even with anti-aging breakthroughs, because somatic DNA mutations would still constrain longevity.
