The Illusion of Life Expectancy Improvements
Despite advancements in health technology and medicine, actual life expectancy improvements are less dramatic than many believe. Most measures of life expectancy are skewed by reductions in childhood mortality, obscuring the reality that adults are not significantly living much longer post-retirement age. While the data may suggest increased longevity, in truth, the gains are negligible when we examine the lifespan beyond the age of retirement. To truly investigate longevity, one should focus on the experiences and lifestyles of cultures known for a high number of centenarians, often referred to as blue zones.
