Researchers say the probability of living past 110 is on the rise — here's what you can do to get there - CNBC

The odds of living past age 110 are becoming more likely, according to a new study from the University of Washington, which used used mathematical modeling predict the probability of people becoming "supercentenarians" in the years 2020 through 2100.

The researchers found that it's "extremely likely" to see the record for the oldest human broken during this century, says Michael Pearce, study author and PhD student at the University of Washington.

For example, researchers are looking into how to target aging cells called "senescent cells." Instead of dividing and making new cells, senescent cells hang around and release chemicals and molecules that mess with other healthy cells and trigger inflammation.

The number of senescent cells someone has increase as people age, but studies on mice show that they can be removed and potentially increase their lifespans.

The University of Washington researchers utilized data from the International Database on Longevity, which tracks "supercentenarians," or people over 110 in 13 countries including the United States for their findings.
