How Realistic is a 100-Year Life Expectancy and Why Does it Matter? | AFAR Webinar (October 22, 2024) The field of aging research has advanced alongside medical interventions that have helped many live longer than generations before us. For scientists, journalists, and consumers alike, this has sparked a fascination with life expectancy: at the rate of modern medical innovations, will more of us live into our 100s and beyond? In this webinar, AFAR presented a conversation between public health and gerontology expert S. Jay Olshansky, PhD, and longevity global economist Andrew J. Scott, DPhil, moderated by AFAR Scientific Director Steven N. Austad, PhD to explore this question further.
