A new study published in Nature Aging indicates that we may have reached or are approaching the maximum possible average life span. This is based on life expectancy data collected from 1990 to 2019 from countries with the highest longevity, Australia, France, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Hong Kong. Even though life expectancy continues to rise, the rate of increase has slowed.
