Unlike ONS calculations, their methods put greater focus on improvements in lifespan over the past few years and make less pessimistic assumptions about the future.
The good and bad news is that, while improvements in lifespan are likely to continue, the changes will almost certainly be incremental rather than sudden.
While scientists do believe there is a limit to how long the body can function, the previous improvements in lifespan have been scientific and sociological in nature — not evolutionarily — so it seems probable that improved science could continue to improve lifespans, up to a point.
In contrast, two completed clinical trials in 2003 and 2004 tested oral creatine supplementation and provided little notable improvements in lifespan, muscle strength, or motor unit numbers in patients with ALS.

These findings provide insight into the dynamic relationship between the age pattern of survival improvements and time trends in lifespan variability.
Below, we focus on quantifying the influence of each Siler model parameter on age-specific variability trends, and show how declining childhood mortality reduced lifespan variability while later improvements in adult survival increased the variability of lifespans at older ages.
