Mr Kipling
122 years is hardly worth mentioning.
In the Bible, Adam lived to 930, Noah 950, Jared 962 and Methuselah until the ripe old age of 969.

Quality is better than quantity.

"In the Bible, Adam lived to 930, Noah 950, Jared 962 and Methuselah until the ripe old age of 969."
And so are Santa Claus, Dracula, Superman and countless other imaginary characters.

Until the day he can't.
Mr Kipling
timeon...
Dracula was "born" in 1897 making him 126
Superman in 1938 making him only 85. My own father is older than him!
And Santa, imaginary? Really? Then who drinks the sherry and eats the mince pies?
timeon
Mr. Kipling, The Count Vlad Dracula was born around 1430, that makes him almost 500 years old; and since he's undead, the count just goes up.
Superman is immortal and perpetual 20-30 years old, that's common knowledge.
Agree about Santa though. Haven't tried to estimate age though.

Back on topic please.

How long can a healthy human live?
Perhaps the question we need to ask is, how long can a human stay healthy?

RIP Lucile. Recall she got covid back prior to vaccines and didn't even know she had it...though she was a spring chicken at 115 then.

Do you really mean ‘live’ ? I guess you mean only somehow existing with still active biological functions.

Agree with Mr Kipling.
