According to SVT, researcher Ignat Kulkov of Malardalen University (MDU) said that scientists predict that human life expectancy could increase to 100 to 120 years within the next 50 years or longer, at least in developed countries.

Explaining the results of the study, conducted with colleagues at universities in Finland, France and the UK and published in the scientific journal Futures, expert Kulkov said that older people can be as healthy as when they were 40, largely thanks to the rapid development of technology.

More and more people are wearing health-tracking devices that are connected to doctors and hospitals, Kulkov added. These devices will help doctors make recommendations on lifestyle changes to improve health and prolong life.

Scientists have also found that advances in other areas are also contributing to the increase in human life expectancy. Kulkov added that the experience of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic will help track the virus more effectively, while AI is being used to diagnose diseases faster and develop new treatments.

Personalized medicine, with drugs tailored to each individual, is also expected to improve health, Kulkov said. However, he warned that new challenges such as climate change could have the biggest impact on health care systems and human life not only in the future but also in the present.
