longevity

Longevity may refer to especially long-lived members of a population, whereas life expectancy is defined statistically as the average number of years remaining at a given age. For example, a population's life expectancy at birth is the same as the average age at death for all people born in the same year (in the case of cohorts).
Longevity studies may involve putative methods to extend life. Longevity has been a topic not only for the scientific community but also for writers of travel, science fiction, and utopian novels. The legendary fountain of youth appeared in the work of the Ancient Greek historian Herodotus.
There are difficulties in authenticating the longest human life span, owing to inaccurate or incomplete birth statistics. Fiction, legend, and folklore have proposed or claimed life spans in the past or future vastly longer than those verified by modern standards, and longevity narratives and unverified longevity claims frequently speak of their existence in the present.
A life annuity is a form of longevity insurance.

    What's your km count? (odometer)

    I'd like to know how reliable the car is in the long term. I used to have a 2005 Ford Fiesta that lasted for 150.000 km. How long has your car been able to survive so far?

    Brake pads and disc longevity

    So the other day went to change the tyres and so while on the jack went to look at the brake pads which I thought by now were nearing their end at 120,000 km. But was surprised they are still only half way and discs are as new with no edge at all. How much were these expected to last? The...
