Russia Targets 81-Year Lifespan by 2036, Experts Weigh In on Longevity Factors
Russia's national goals target an increased lifespan, aiming for 78 years by 2030 and 81 years by 2036. Experts weigh in on the factors influencing longevity and the current state of affairs.
The natural lifespan, according to Sergei Kiselyov, is around 40 years. However, with proper nutrition and physical activity, it can extend to 85-90 years, as per Doctor of Biological Sciences Alexei Moskalyev. He also notes that genes play a minor role in longevity, with lifestyle and habits being the main determinants.
Reaching 120 years is considered a 'great rarity' by molecular geneticist Sergei Kiselyov. In Russia, such individuals are exceptionally rare, with no precise estimate of their number. The general trend worldwide, including in Russia, shows that reaching 120 years is extremely uncommon and mostly theoretical in demographic studies.
The aging process is unique to each person, according to Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova. Currently, the probability of reaching retirement age in Russia is less than 100%, with 62% of boys and 84% of girls born expected to reach 65 years. The expected lifespan at birth in Russia is 73.46 years as of 2023.
The state aims to develop opportunities to ensure longevity up to 100-120 years for some Russians. Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova has stated that some Russians may live to be 100-120 years old.
