How long can humans live? Lower bound for biological limit of human longevity calculated from Danish twin data using correlated frailty model.

Mechanisms of ageing and development - 9 Jun 1995

Yashin A I, Iachine I

Abstract excerpt

How long can people live? Opinions of the researchers diverge and debates continue. Is there any systematic way to address this question? In this paper, we suggest an approach to the estimation of the biological limit of human longevity using survival data for twins from different zygocity groups. The approach is based on the genetic model of individual frailty. It combines ideas used in demography and survival...
