A study by Dr Saul Justin Newman (Centre for Longitudinal Studies) has won the first-ever Ig Nobel award in Demography at this year’s 34th Ig Nobel Prizes. His work reveals fundamental flaws in the data about the world’s oldest people and patterns of extreme longevity.
So people tend to “live longer” where there’s poverty, rewards for reaching old age (pensions) and poor record keeping (e.g. birth certificates). Fascinating coincidences!!
I just quit my job, gave away all my money, and burned my birth certificate. Am I doing longevity right?
