TL;DR Summary

A Russian-led modelling study estimates that if all reversible aging processes were reversed except for DNA damage in cells (somatic mutations), the median human lifespan could reach 146–194 years—a roughly twofold increase over today—while the ultimate cap would still hover around 200 years; the result hinges on how organs interact and on assumptions about aging hallmarks, making it a theoretical rather than experimental finding.
