英国：2017宝宝愈三成能到百岁
<p>英国国家统计局日前发布的一份报告指出，该国今年出生的宝宝中有三分之一以上能活到100岁。在这份名为《活到100岁的几率有多少》的报告中，统计局监测了今年即将出生的42.3万名男婴和40.3万名女婴，并预计这当中有13.5万名男婴和15.6万名女婴能活到2112年。百岁老人数量增加可能是个好消息，但他们面临的问题也很严峻。首先，他们一百岁时的健康状况将会令人堪忧，而且多半会是独居，得不到妥善照料。其次，现代人都不懂得长远规划，老年以后会遇到什么状况，需要如何应对，大概没有人会提前规划。</p><p><span word="More">More</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="third">third</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="babies">babies</span> <span word="born">born</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="year">year</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="receive">receive</span> <span word="a">a</span> 100<span word="th">th</span> <span word="birthday">birthday</span> <span word="message">message</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="whoever">whoever</span> <span word="happens">happens</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="throne">throne</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="second">second</span> <span word="decade">decade</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> 22<span word="nd">nd</span> <span word="century">century</span>, <span word="according">according</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="figures">figures</span> <span word="published">published</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Office">Office</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="National">National</span> <span word="Statistics">Statistics</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="ONS">ONS</span> <span word="forecasts">forecasts</span> <span word="that">that</span> 35% <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> 826,000 <span word="people">people</span> <span word="born">born</span> <span word="in">in</span> 2017 <span word="will">will</span> <span word="live">live</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="become">become</span> <span word="centenarians">centenarians</span>.</p><p><span word="In">In</span> <span word="its">its</span> <span word="latest">latest</span> <span word="report">report</span> – <span word="entitled">entitled</span> <span word="What">What</span> <span word="Are">Are</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Chances">Chances</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Surviving">Surviving</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="Age">Age</span> 100? – <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ONS">ONS</span> <span word="examines">examines</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="births">births</span> <span word="of">of</span> 423,000 <span word="boys">boys</span> <span word="and">and</span> 403,000 <span word="girls">girls</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="year">year</span>. <span word="It">It</span> <span word="estimates">estimates</span> <span word="that">that</span> 135,000 <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="boys">boys</span> <span word="and">and</span> 156,000 <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="girls">girls</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="still">still</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="alive">alive</span> <span word="in">in</span> 2112.</p><p><span word="But">But</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="life">life</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="unalloyed">unalloyed</span> <span word="good">good</span> <span word="news">news</span>. <span word="David">David</span> <span word="Sinclair">Sinclair</span>, <span word="head">head</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="policy">policy</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="research">research</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="International">International</span> <span word="Longevity">Longevity</span> <span word="Centre">Centre</span> <span word="UK">UK</span>, <span word="warned">warned</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="many">many</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="future">future</span> <span word="may">may</span> <span word="mean">mean</span> <span word="social">social</span> <span word="isolation">isolation</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="outlive">outlive</span> <span word="friends">friends</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="members">members</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="families">families</span>, <span word="physical">physical</span> <span word="isolation">isolation</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="trapped">trapped</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="unsuitable">unsuitable</span> <span word="housing">housing</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="poor">poor</span> <span word="health">health</span>.</p>
