Aussies don’t live past 110 and anti-ageing science hopes to change that
New data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has found that Australians are living longer.
Over the last 11 years, the life expectancy for males increased by 13.7 years and the life expectancy for women jumped by 11.2 years – becoming 81.3 years and 85.4 years respectively.
But, the report also found that there is a maximum life expectancy for Australians, with no resident living to be 110 years of age.
The idea of a maximum life expectancy has been a topic of conversation for medical experts, working in the world of anti-ageing.
Senior Research Fellow from the University Of New South Wales Laboratory for Aging Research Dr Lindsay Wu joined John Stanley to explain how anti-ageing is more than moisturising cream and botox injections.
