Death and Dying

12 percent

12% is wildly inflated. Recent estimates show roughly 450,000 centenarians worldwide. With the world's population currently at over 6.8 billion, that would make the figure .006% or six thousandth of one percent.

That last answer is horribly wrong. The question is not "What percent of the population is over 100?" I don't know the answer, but do know the older you are, the greater the chance you'll make it to 100. :-)

It's quite implicit that the question deals with those 100 years old & above, not just those currently 100 & not any older..just wouldn't make any sense from a statistical standpoint. Unless my figure of current centenarians is off, my rough estimate of .006% stands.

As individuals age from 65 to death, their physical needs may include access to healthcare services, assistance with daily activities, proper nutrition, regular exercise to maintain strength and mobility, and accommodations to support any physical limitations that may arise. It is important to prioritize overall health and well-being to enhance quality of life during this stage.

It could just mean a natural part of aging, or it could mean that the person is dying. Usually when someone is dying in a nursing home they give them morphine to ease the pain of death, when they do this it slows the breathing and the heart rate which can be accelerated because of the pain, and helps them to relax. That is why most people think that morphine will kill their loved one when in reality, the person administering the morphine really just wants the patient to be in less pain.

As of 2021, Japan has one of the highest average life expectancies in the world, with an average of around 85 years for both men and women. This can be attributed to factors such as a healthy diet, accessible healthcare, active lifestyle, and strong social support networks.

The average life expectancy for a boilermaker is similar to the general population, which is around 75 to 80 years old. However, factors such as work environment, safety precautions, and lifestyle choices can impact individual life expectancies.

Philby's cause of death doesn't seem to be officially recorded, but heart failure has been reported. He was described as drinking heavily later in life, so this may have contributed.

There is no specific available statistic on the percentage of people who die within one week of their birthday. The likelihood of this occurrence may vary depending on individual health, age, and other factors.

As we age, our bodies experience a decline in function and efficiency, making us more susceptible to a range of health issues. These can include chronic diseases, organ failure, weakened immune system, and increased risk of infections. Ultimately, old age can lead to a combination of these factors that can contribute to death.

In 1756, life expectancy was around 30-40 years. This average was lower than today due to higher rates of infant mortality, infectious diseases, and limited medical knowledge and technology.

It is possible to die from extreme fear in rare cases, particularly if someone has a preexisting heart condition. In these situations, intense fear or stress can trigger a heart attack or other severe physical reactions that may be fatal.

It's not good to say I don't know to a question? For me I'm not sure to the answer to this exact question but I do know that 1.7 people die every second so you can try and do the math and figure out what your looking. I hope this helped better than Mr. Oh lets just put I don't know for every answer.

Medical Doctors Commonly cite 4 to 6 weeks without food

10 Political Prisoners in Ireland Lived 46 to 73 days before succumbing to lack of food

12 individual starvation protesters - Two lost tongues, 1 lost feet, 7 on kidney dialysis

Many war prisoners Lived 28 to 40 days with no food

World War II concentration camps With only 300 to 600 calories per day, many thousands did not have enough food to survive more than a few months at best.

Terminally Ill patients Live 10-days to 3-weeks without food depending upon initial heath

Obese people can live from 3-weeks up to 25-weeks and more without food depending upon initial health and amount of fat

Mahatma Gandhi survived a 3-week fast while in his 70's

Mexican culture tends to have a strong emphasis on respect for older individuals and honoring ancestors. Aging is often viewed as a natural part of life that should be embraced with grace and dignity. Death is typically seen as a transition to another phase of existence, with traditions like Dia de los Muertos celebrating the memory of loved ones who have passed.

The average life expectancy in Thailand is about 68 years

Humans live on average 39.5 years in Swaziland and 81 years in Japan. The oldest confirmed recorded age for any human is 122 years (see Jeanne Calment), though some people are reported to have lived longer. This is referred to as the "maximum life span", which is the upper boundary of life, the maximum number of years a human can live.

The average cost of one day in intensive care in the US ranges from $2,000 to $4,000, but it can be significantly higher depending on the hospital and location. Additional treatments, procedures, and medications can also increase the overall cost of intensive care.

You don't have to be here. You could be somewhere else. It is true that death seems to be in the normal scheme of things, but in the meantime, with life we have choice, but in death we don't. * Some people think we are here on Earth to learn and grow, and that is the purpose of our life.

The average life expectancy for females in Madagascar is 65.3 and for males it is 61.27.

His poor language skills lead to his demise! :-)

As far as know, the 'death rattle' is generally a fluid buildup in the back of the throat. People who are dying, their relaxes are slower and they most generally do not swallow the way that you would to get phlegm down the back of their throat. You'll usually notice that if you clear the persons mouth out from back to front with a swab they will not do it as much. Usually you can see the phlegm in the back of their throat as well which helps you know. Hope that helps some.

By 1970, the average life expectancy for Americans was around 70 years.

Our bodies use energy when we are sleeping for . . . * Keeping our lungs going so we can still breathe. This of course, happens involunterly. * Keeping our brains working. They send out all of the vital messages and make sure our organs keep operating. They will register pain and present images in our subconsious i.e. dreams. * Maintaining body temperature. * The digestion of food. * Regeneration. While we don't require energy for other things, the body will use it to heal injuries and refresh the body. Your brain also uses energy to store memories.

80+ is normally the age when people would classify your death as 'old age' but if you have no underline health problems it can be any age just as soon as your body is ready to leave this world. People who die of old age will often die in their sleep.

Unless death is very sudden, the body has to become aware that its systems are in BIG trouble. So for a short time the body goes into chaos prior to death. Undoubtedly, some people experience discomfort--thus the grimace.

This is directly from the Medicare and You 2009 book concerning Hospice Care: For people with a terminal illness who are expected to live 6 months or less (as certified by a doctor). Coverage may include drugs (for pain relief and symptom management), medical, nursing, social services, and other covered services as well as services not usually covered by Medicare (like grief counseling). Hospice care is usually given in your home (or other facility like a nursing home) by a Medicare-approved hospice. Medicare covers some short-term inpatient stays (for pain and symptom management that requires an inpatient stay) in a Medicare-approved facility, such as a hospice facility, hospital, or skilled nursing facility. Medicare also covers inpatient respite care (care given to a hospice patient so that the usual caregiver can rest). You can stay in a Medicare-approved facility up to 5 days each time you get respite care. Medicare may pay for covered services for health problems that aren't related to your terminal illness. You can continue to get hospice care as long as the hospice medical director or hospice doctor recertifies that you are terminally ill.
