Genetic Determinants of Human Health Span and Life Span: Progress and New Opportunities
We review three approaches to the genetic analysis of the biology and pathobiology of human aging. The first and so far the best-developed is the search for the biochemical genetic basis of varying susceptibilities to major geriatric disorders. These include a range of progeroid syndromes. Collectively, they tell us much about the genetics of health span. Given that the major risk factor for vi...

متن کاملLife Span of Multipotential Hematopoietic
The hematopoietic system is maintained throughout adult life by a population of immature precursors known as the multipotential stem cells . These stem cells are unique within the system in that they have the capacity to generate progeny of all the blood cell lineages, as well as the capacity to generate cells with a potential similar to their own, a characteristic often referred to as self-ren...
متن کاملSocial relationships and physiological determinants of longevity across the human life span.
Two decades of research indicate causal associations between social relationships and mortality, but important questions remain as to how social relationships affect health, when effects emerge, and how long they last. Drawing on data from four nationally representative longitudinal samples of the US population, we implemented an innovative life course design to assess the prospective associati...
