Gompertz law in simple computer model of aging of biological population
It is shown that if the computer model of biological ageing proposed by Stauffer is modified such that the late reproduction is privileged then the Gompertz law of exponential increase of mortality can be retrieved.
متن کاملGompertz' survivorship law as an intrinsic principle of aging.
We defend the hypothesis that life-spanning population survivorship curves, as described by Gompertz' law and composed from cross-sectional data (here mortality), reflect an intrinsic aging principle active in each subject of that population. In other words Gompertz' law reflects aging of a prototypical subject, provided minimal (or no) external causes of death (i.e. fatal infections, starvatio...
متن کاملBiological implications of the Weibull and Gompertz models of aging.
Gompertz and Weibull functions imply contrasting biological causes of demographic aging. The terms describing increasing mortality with age are multiplicative and additive, respectively, which could result from an increase in the vulnerability of individuals to extrinsic causes in the Gompertz model and the predominance of intrinsic causes at older ages in the Weibull model. Experiments that ma...
متن کاملSocial effects in simple computer model of aging.
A simple evolutionary model for biological aging is modified such that it requires a minimum population for survival, like in human society. This social effect leads to a transition between extinction and survival of the species.
متن کاملThe Phenomenon of Population Aging in Iran
Elham Fathi Statistical Center of Iran Abstract. In the past, few people reached old age, but in todaychr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s world, advances in technology and health have allowed people to live longer and die at an older age, so Now more people can experience aging. On the other hand, since almost all countries of the world have gone through or are going through a period of high fertilit...
