Does Exceptional Human Longevity Come with a High Cost of Infertility?: Testing the Evolutionary Theories of Aging

1 Jun 2004

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this study is to test the prediction of the evolutionary theory of aging that human longevity comes with the cost of impaired reproductive success (higher infertility rates). Our validation study is based on the analysis of particularly reliable genealogical records for European aristocratic families using a logistic regression model with childlessness as a dependent (outcome) variable, and woman's...
