Understanding Maximum Human Lifespan
Human longevity has been studied for centuries, but the maximum lifespan—the greatest number of years a human can potentially live—remains an intriguing mystery.
⚬ Current Record: Jeanne Calment (122 years, 164 days)
⚬ Science Suggests a Limit: Based on telomere science, humans may have a biological cap on lifespan
⚬ Can We Extend It? New research explores how we might exceed this limit
What Are Telomeres & Why Do They Matter?
Telomeres are protective caps at the end of chromosomes that ensure genetic stability. Think of them like plastic tips on shoelaces—without them, chromosomes become damaged, leading to cellular aging and death.
⚬ Each time a cell divides, telomeres shorten (50 base pairs per division)
⚬ When telomeres reach ~4,000 BP, the cell can no longer function and dies
⚬ Born with ~10,000 BP, humans have a potential lifespan of ~120 years
The Hayflick Limit: A Barrier to Longevity?
In 1969, Dr. Leonard Hayflick discovered that human cells have a finite capacity to divide, known as the Hayflick Limit. This theory suggests:
⚬ Humans have ~6,000 BP of telomeres to “spend” during their lifetime
⚬ Dividing 6,000 BP by 50 per division = ~120-year maximum lifespan
⚬ But poor diet, stress, and lack of exercise accelerate telomere loss, reducing lifespan to ~80 years
Can We Extend the Hayflick Limit?
Studies show that maintaining and even extending telomeres is possible, potentially breaking past the Hayflick Limit and increasing both lifespan and healthspan. Strategies include:
⚬ Telomerase Activation – Certain compounds may help maintain telomeres
⚬ Healthy Diet – Antioxidants and polyphenols slow telomere shortening
⚬ Exercise & Stress Reduction – Lowers inflammation and improves cellular longevity
