This article is sensationalist and false. If one reads the CBS page linked from the article (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/09/10/world/main6853038.shtml http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/09/10/world/main6853038....), we find the following:
"An official at the Health Ministry's statistics bureau said Friday's survey does not change Japan's status as a fast-aging nation because life expectancy calculations are not based on family registration records."
