The length of human life has focused on aging and specialist research due to the population aging occurrence. Reaching 100 years of age is becoming increasingly frequent, particularly in wealthy countries, and some people will even survive to be over 100. However, this study will focus on survey analysis of aging people willing or not willing to live over 100 years. Three groups of different ages were willing to stay alive for over 100 years and included 24, 40, and 65. Hence, further analyzed these groups in terms of reducing food to half, being ready to get more exercise, preparing to eat healthier foods, and having a balanced diet. The other two groups were unwilling to live over 100 years because of increased certainty that their extended life would involve loss and dependence. Diseases are inevitable at a high age, and quality of life is in danger.
From the age of 24 years, they agreed to stay 100+ and were ready to acquire more exercise or physical activity because it can enhance health and decrease the risk rate of developing several diseases such as blood pressure, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Most importantly, regular exercise and activity improve quality of life; can have immediate and long-term body benefits. As the aging population of 40 continues to extend life expectancy, there is a need for central concern to promote a high health-related quality of life and reduce food in half (Peres et al., 2019). It will lead to good nutrition hence improving immunity, keeping weight, and fighting against illness-causing toxins.
The last aging group of 65 accepted and was willing to live over 100 years and wanted to consume a balanced diet that enhanced independence. Eating healthier food can prevent heart diseases and improve heart health. A healthy diet among this age group can help them have strong teeth and bones now and in the future, thus preventing tooth decay. Another main reason for ingesting a healthy diet is to preserve a healthy weight.
Two out of five were unwilling to live above 100 years at 56 because they were more confident that a longer life would include loss and reliance. Because diseases are unavoidable at a high age, and quality of life is in jeopardy, people aged 65 and up are less likely to live to be 100. Those who did not want to live a long life were frightened of becoming disabled, becoming a burden to others, and living a pointless life. Many people aspire to live a long life, yet the proportion of persons prepared to live to be 100 is the same as the proportion who do not. Although health issues appear to play a part in creating such a will, social and psychological variables also play a role, as seen by the value placed on God and religious meaning and connectivity.
Many working populations wanted to live for over 100 years in this survey, especially the males and the oldest. However, their wish was conditional and physical health was significantly associated with the will to live 100. Positive attitudes and modeling try to estimate the requirements of fulfilling the basic human need and enabling a high quality of life for their desire to live a long life. Additionally, health professionals should inquire about each aging person between 24, 40, and 65 person’s values and views on their will to live long and their future wishes. Eating a better diet can help them avoid heart disease and enhance their heart health. A balanced diet can help this age group maintain strong teeth and bones today and in the future, avoiding tooth disease.
