Extractions: by Ben Best DEFINITION OF AGING SYMPTOMS OF AGING AN OVERVIEW OF AGING AND OF AGING THEORIES EVOLUTION THEORY AND SPECIES-SPECIFIC AGING ... BOOK REFERENCES Aging is a syndrome of changes that are deleterious, progressive, universal and thus far irreversible. Aging changes occur to molecules (DNA, proteins, lipids), to cells and to organs. Diseases of old age (diseases which increase in frequency with age, such as arthritis, osteoporosis, heart disease, cancer Alzheimer's Disease , etc.) are often distinguished from aging per se . But even if the aging process is distinct from the diseases of aging, it is nonetheless true that the aging process causes changes that increase the probability that diseases of old age will occur. Some gerontologists prefer to use the word senescence because "aging" implies that the passage of time necessarily results in deterioration (biological entropy) which is certainly not true during the early, developmental , time of life (before the age of 10 or 12 in humans). I will retain the word "aging" because I believe the association between aging & deterioration is universal as adult years progress and because the distinction between aging & development is very strongly established in conventional language. Also, shorter words make for slightly faster reading.

Extractions: Professor David Kaufman and Dr Max Freudenthal, published in Frankfurt in 1907, in an English translation by Dr Bernard Standring This classic book that traces the genealogy of the Gomperz family is first and foremost a fascinating work of history. The family settled in Germany along the Lower Rhine around the year 1600, and moved on to Berlin, Frankfurt, Metz, Vienna and Prague as well as to Holland, England, and later the United States of America. Today, it would be difficult to find a country that does not have a Gomperz, Gompertz, Gomperts, Gumpertz, Gompers or other variation of the name, descended from the original settlers on the Rhine The book is, in effect, a history of the Jews in Germany in the seventeenth, eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, concentrating on the activities of the court Jews and showing the general attitude of the Electors of Prussia and Saxony and other Royal Houses towards the Jews who were sometimes treated with a modicum of respect and rewarded for their efforts, but equally often thrown into prison on the whim of a prince or through the machinations of members of the court. It highlights the enormous difficulties that the Jews faced to obtain a respected position in society, where medicine was the only career open to them apart from trade, which was precarious because they were always restricted in the range of trades they were permitted to engage in and were taxed much more heavily that the rest of the population.

http://longevity-science.org/DYue.html

Extractions: This is an interesting study, which suggests and applies new rigorous statistical methods to test the validity of the Gompertz law at extreme old ages. The author also suggested an explanation why the Gompertz law fails at older ages, based on the idea of population heterogeneity. It is important to discuss the scientific background related to this study because the significance of this work could be more fully appreciated in the context of previous findings. The current situation with applicability of the Gompertz law to extreme old ages is paradoxical. On the one hand, it is well known for a long time that the Gompertz law is not applicable to mortality rates at advanced ages the observed mortality rates are always lower than predicted by the Gompertz model, and, not surprisingly, the actual numbers of survivors to extreme ages is always higher than predicted by the Gompertz law. The picture below illustrates the mortality deceleration observed at advanced ages contrary to the predictions of the Gompertz law: Paradoxically, the Gompertz law and the Gompertz-Makeham law are nevertheless often applied to estimate the oldest-old mortality rates by extrapolation in order to "close" the life tables. When confronted with the question why these "wrong" formulas are used, the demographers/actuaries usually reply that this is not an important issue, because life expectancy at birth is not very sensitive to the way how exactly the life tables are closed. The same "wrong" formulas and related assumptions are often used for graduation (smoothing procedures) of the mortality trajectories at advanced ages. It is extremely important, therefore, to know exactly how a particular life table was closed and/or graduated, before using it for testing of any statistical models. If the Gompertz or the Gompertz-Makeham laws were already introduced into the data by the method of life table construction/graduation, these data would not be useful for statistical hypothesis testing.

http://longevity-science.org/Synopsis.html

Extractions: Introduction There is a growing interest to the topic of aging and to the search for a general theory that can explain what aging is and why and how it happens. There is also a need for a general theoretical framework that may allow researchers to handle an enormous amount of diverse observations related to aging phenomena. Empirical observations on aging have become so numerous and abundant that a special 4-volume encyclopedia, The Macmillan Encyclopedia of Aging, is now required for even a partial coverage of the accumulated facts (Ekerdt, 2002). To transform these numerous and diverse observations into a comprehensive body of knowledge, a general theory of species aging and longevity is required. This theory is also important for understanding and forecasting the trends of human mortality and longevity. the possibility that with advancing age the rate of mortality asymptotes to a finite value x are 0.439 for women and 0.544 for men

Extractions: Main There's been a spike in interest today about Protandim , a purported anti-aging product sold by Lifeline Therapeutics . So much interest has been generated, in fact, that Lifeline just started password protecting their website in the hour or so since I started writing this article. Go figure! Don't worry, this is probably a temporary situation while they try to figure out what they need to hide, if anything, from the public. In fact, the website may be accessible again by the time you're reading this. The Fight Aging article analyzing resveratrol and human growth hormone This discussion actually comes at a fortuitous time, because of an article recently written by renowned biogerontologist Aubrey de Grey On the other hand, increasing or decreasing the slope actually speeds up or slows down the acceleration of your mortality rate. It actually shortens or lengthens your life by a certain relative amount, e.g. subtracts or adds 20% to the number of years you statistically have left. If you had 10 years left, now you have 12. If you had 50 years left, now you have 60. Aubrey went on to say something similar: Thus, when analyzing data from a lifespan study, it is customary to derive the Gompertz parameters of a cohort subjected to some intervention that raises mean and/or maximum lifespan (mice on caloric restriction, for example) and to compare these parameters with those of the control population; if the Gompertz slope is reduced by the intervention (i.e., the doubling time is stretched), then aging is said to have been slowed, whereas if the Gompertz slope is unchanged and the life extension results only from a reduction in the intercept, aging is said only to have been delayed.
