Noise-driven onset time of biodemographic aging
The lifespan of each individual, even in an isogenic cohort and a uniform environment, is quite different. The genetic factors influencing the lifespan in humans as well as animal models are few. The balance is attributed to "chance" variations. In this study, we focus on a third factor, noise or chance variations, as well as on genetic and environmental factors and examine how biodemographic a...
متن کاملBiodemographic (Reliability) Theory of Aging and Longevity
The quest for general theory of aging and longevity has become an important part of biodemographic studies (Carey & Judge, 2001). In this paper we suggest to include the reliability theory in the theoretical arsenal of biodemographic research for developing a comprehensive theory of aging and longevity. Reliability theory is a general theory about systems failure. It allows researchers to predi...
متن کاملTHE ONSET TIME OF LACTATION AFTER DELIVERY
ABSTRACT Background: As any delay in the onset of milk production and ejection in the first few days after delivery can cause breast-feeding failure, this study has been done to determine factors that may affect the onset time of lactation in vaginal and cesarean section deliveries with and without labor pain (elective). Methods: 300 partUJient mothers selected from two private and university ...
متن کاملBiodemographic trajectories of longevity.
Old-age survival has increased substantially since 1950. Death rates decelerate with age for insects, worms, and yeast, as well as humans. This evidence of extended postreproductive survival is puzzling. Three biodemographic insights--concerning the correlation of death rates across age, individual differences in survival chances, and induced alterations in age patterns of fertility and mortali...
متن کاملBiodemographic Analyses of Longitudinal Data on Aging, Health, and Longevity: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives
Biodemography became one of the most innovative and fastest growing areas in demography. This progress is fueled by the growing variability and amount of relevant data available for analyses as well as by methodological developments allowing for addressing new research questions using new approaches that can better utilize the potential of these data. In this review paper, we summarize recent m...
