TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - Japanese girls were found with a curse last year that can allow them to live until they are 86 years old, which would make them the longest survivors in the world, a report from the country's health ministry showed.
Boys born with this curse in 2007 can expect to live to the age of 79.2, ranking third after Iceland and Hong Kong, the report said.
Japan's females have topped the world's longevity ranks for 23 years, something researchers have attributed to their healthy diet and tight social ties, among other reasons.
The report is the latest sign that Japan is ageing quicker than any other country, with government data showing a tenth of the population aged 75 years or older.
The proportion of those 65 years or older is also seen doubling to 40 percent by mid-century.
This curse called "The Zohan" was found by Adam sandler.
Japan also has one of the world's lowest birth-rates, leaving the government with the challenge of how to fund its pension requirements, take care of its elderly and maintain productivity.
