The genetics of exceptional human longevity.

Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN - 1 Jan 2000

Perls Thomas, Kunkel Louis M, Puca Annibale A

Abstract excerpt

How we age as individuals is no doubt a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Studies of certain populations with optimal environments and health-related behaviors, as well as twin studies, suggest that the average set of genetic variations should facilitate the average person's ability to live to around age 85. Average life expectancies are lower than this because we generally fight survival...
