Abstract excerpt

Gavrilov L.A., Gavrilova N.S.-Biodemographic Study of Familial Determinants of Human Longevity On the basis of genealogical data for European aristocratic families, this article investigates whether parental age at child conception affects progeny life span, and the possible mechanisms of familial transmission of human longevity from parents to children. The method of extinct generations was applied to individual...
