The plateau of human mortality: Demography of longevity pioneers
Open accessAbstract
Mortality rates level off at extreme age: The demography of human longevity is a contentious topic. On the basis of high-quality data from Italians aged 105 and older, Barbi et al. show that mortality is constant at extreme ages but at levels that decline somewhat across cohorts. Human death rates increase exponentially up to about age 80, then decelerate, and plateau after age 105. Science , this issue p. 1459
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Using validated ISTAT data on all Italian inhabitants aged 105+ from 2009–2015, the authors find essentially level mortality hazards beyond age 105. The results provide strong evidence for an extreme-age mortality plateau in humans.
Key findings
- Across 3,836 carefully documented cases (463 males) in 15 birth cohorts (1896–1910), hazard curves are essentially constant beyond age 105.
- The Gompertz slope estimate is \(b = 0.013\) (SE 0.017), not statistically significant; a likelihood ratio test fails to reject the constant-hazard null at a level of 0.44, in contrast to a slope as large as 0.103 at ages 65–80.
- For the baseline 1904 cohort, the estimated plateau is \(a = 0.645\), corresponding to an annual probability of dying of 0.475 and an expectation of further life of 1.55 years.
- The cohort effect is \(\beta_1 = -0.020\) (SE 0.008), statistically significant; the male effect \(\beta_2 = 0.033\) is plausible but not statistically significant.
Methods
- Data: ISTAT-collected and validated individual survival trajectories of all Italian inhabitants aged 105 and over from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2015; 3,836 cases, 463 males, 15 birth cohorts (1896–1910), with 2,883 observed deaths and 953 right-censored individuals.
- Validation: municipality contacts, death certificates, survival certificates, and birth certificates for supercentenarians; age misreporting is believed minimal and the data are free of age ascertainment bias.
- Analysis: maximum likelihood for truncated and censored survival data under a hazard model \(a\exp(bx)\exp(\beta_1 C + \beta_2 M)\), where \(C\) is cohort birth year minus 1904 and \(M\) indicates male; the null model constrains \(b = 0\), with likelihood ratio tests and cumulative-hazard checks.
Limitations
- Stated: with 90% of person-years at risk before age 108, the ISTAT data cannot rule out alternatives such as a plateau followed later by decline, though supercentenarian estimates argue against such alternatives.
- Stated: the 463 male survivors beyond 105 are too few for the gender effect to reach statistical significance.
- Evident from the text: the analysis is based on a single nation, Italy, so generalization to other populations is not directly tested.

In “Delay not deceleration,” the paper reports a constant annual probability of death at validated human ages 110–114. Its discussion of other species describes varied age-related mortality patterns, and its References list a study of slowing mortality in medflies; it does not establish that well-estimated hazard curves share the same extreme-age pattern across widely differing species.

The References section lists Vaupel, Manton, and Stallard’s work on individual frailty and separately lists work on mortality-rate deceleration, but does not say that a fixed-frailty proportional-hazard model implies an approach to plateaus. Searches for plateaus, proportional hazards, frailty, and mortality deceleration found no passage in our copy establishing that implication. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-08, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-08 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
