[aging, longevity, life expectancy] Excerpts from: Are We Really Living Longer?, _http://westonaprice.org/causticcommentary/caustic-commentary-2007sp.html_ (http://westonaprice.org/causticcommentary/caustic-commentary-2007sp.html) Caustic Commentary, WAPF (Weston A. Price Foundation), Spring 2007. _http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig20.php_ (http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig20.php) An astute member has sent us some interesting statistics about centenarians [people who are 100 years of age or older]. >From a video segment recently aired on Nova [2007 population 306 million], we learn that only one in 10,000 Americans will live to age 100 [0.33% of the total population]. US census data indicates that in 1990, there were an estimated 37,306 centenarians out of 248,709,873 . . . [or 1.5% of the total population]. According to numbers compiled at the University of Virginia, in 1830 there were 2,600 centenarians out of 12,866,020 people, or . . .[or 2.02% of the total population]. Summary by Year
-- 2007: 0.33% of total population were 100 years of age or more -- 1990: 1.50% of total population were 100 years of age or more -- 1830: 2.02% of total population were 100 years of age or more So much for assurances that this generation will live longer than ever.
