Age-dependence and aging-dependence: The case of neuronal loss and lifespan in a <i>C. elegans</i> model of Parkinson’s disease
2017-01-04
Abstract excerpt
It is often assumed, but not established, that the major neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease, are not just age-dependent (their incidence changes with time) but actually aging-dependent (their incidence is coupled to the process that determines lifespan). To determine a dependence on the aging process requires the joint probability distribution of disease onset and lifespan. For human Parkinson...
