How long human life is, has always been an interesting topic.

How to prolong the life span of human beings is a topic that is covered every year in the forum of top scientists.

Scientists believe that innovative therapies are ultimately designed to extend human lifespan and live a high quality life.

But with precision medicine, is it possible for human beings to achieve the goal of living to 100 years old?

Scientists have different opinions.

　　At the 3rd Top Scientist Forum, Professor Tomas Lindahl, a Swedish cancer medical scientist and Nobel Prize winner in chemistry in 2015, proposed: “We should have certain treatment methods through which to treat cancer, so that Most people can live to nearly 100 years old. More importantly, they can maintain a good physical and mental state. I think this is a goal we can achieve at the moment."

　　Professor Lindal said that the ultimate life span of human beings can reach 100 to 110 years, after which the body organs will be excessively worn out.

"When we are truly aging, the main risk we face is cancer. If we can treat cancer as a chronic disease like diabetes, then we can eliminate the fear of cancer." He said, "The current medical methods should be able to help. We have greatly improved our cancer diagnosis and treatment capabilities."

　　Professor Aaron Ciechanover, an Israeli scientist and Nobel Prize winner in chemistry in 2004, said: “How long human life spans has always been an interesting topic. At the beginning of the 20th century, the average life span in the world was only At the age of 50, people will die from infectious diseases, wars, and other reasons. Today, 100 years later, the average life expectancy of developed countries and regions has exceeded 80 years. In other words, in a century, human life expectancy has increased About 30 years old."

　　Ciechanovo said that a century ago, most people died of infectious diseases and women would die of childbirth. No one died of cancer, heart disease, or cerebrovascular disease because they had not yet reached the age of suffering from these diseases.

The advancement of medicine has prolonged human life. These medical methods include vaccination, development of antibiotics, development of anesthesia and surgery.

　　But he believes that whether human life can be extended to 110 years old seems unpredictable.

"Because the human physiological system and the aging process are entering a plateau, and we don't know enough about it." Professor Ciechanovo said.

He also proposed that if humans can really live to 100 years old, then there may be new diseases waiting for us.

　　Professor Richard Hobbs, Executive President of Oxford University and Dean of Nuffield's Department of Basic Medical Sciences, analyzed the role of digital therapy in promoting precision medicine.

"Precision digital medicine is a fairly new field. In the next few years, we will develop a large number of applications." Professor Hobbs said.

　　He believes that the use of digital means can better predict the risk of diseases and better guide the prognosis, which will extend human life to a certain extent.

Professor Hobbs said: "The best example at present is the prediction of medium and long-term cardiovascular risks, such as the use of statins."

　　He also said that digital precision medicine has played an important role in the monitoring of the new crown epidemic. Through the analysis of big data, people are studying whether certain people infected with the new crown will cause more serious disease prognosis, such as People who are obese or have cardiovascular disease.
