So I was reading a Spanish newspaper notifications for the day and saw one saying sth like “longevity rush brakes” and claiming not more than 15% of women and 5% of men are likely to reach 100 years. As a person from a family of medical professionals, I’m hugely curious why there are such polar opinions and would like to know what you guys think.
