Abstract excerpt

An investigation of the genetic influences on life span and survival was conducted among elderly African-Americans, Caribbean Hispanics, and Caucasians Medicare recipients (ages 65-104 years). Family history information on 13,161 parents and siblings was obtained. Heritability of life span varied...
