      Haven't seen anyone note this yet: Supercentenarian age falsification before introduction of birth certificates means that gains in life expectancy are underestimated --> Actual impact of recent medical progress is bigger than we thought https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/704080v1 …pic.twitter.com/WVv05SGd0t

      Super-centenarians are like 1 in 1000 or rarer. They'd only slightly affect the overall life expectancy (like +0.02 years).

      only a few of age liars end up having their fake age turn out to be supercentarian, no? the point is that if liars are liars and thus supercentenarians (and other old) aren't concentrated in those places with low life expectancy and no birth certificates, before-after dif bigger

      It doesn't matter how you cut it, the impact must be small. If there's 1 in 1000 100yos and they turn out to be overstating by 30 years even, that's still a small effect like 0.02 years. (And if we want to gauge medical progress, what do we make of the Calment anomaly...)

          @gwern Wholeheartedly agree: these cases are so vanishingly rare (~600 cases in 40 years, US wide) they make virtually no impact on average lifespan, especially compared to standard errors of estimates. FYI It’s my paper.
