Have We Reached the Ceiling of Human Longevity?

TL;DR Summary
Researchers from Tilburg and Rotterdam's Erasmus University in the Netherlands have determined that the maximum human lifespan is approximately 115.7 years for women and 114.1 years for men, based on data from 75,000 deceased individuals over 30 years. This study suggests that while average life expectancy has increased, the maximum lifespan has not changed significantly, aligning with similar findings from American research. The study challenges the record set by Jeanne Louise Calment, who lived to 122 years.
