As people live longer, ages at death are becoming more similar. This dual advance over the
last two centuries, a central aim of public health policies, is a major achievement of modern …

Senescence—the decline in age‐specific contribution to fitness with increasing age—has
been widely investigated in evolutionary ecology. A tremendous amount of detailed …

Variance in life history outcomes among individuals is a requirement for natural selection,
and a determinant of the ecological dynamics of populations. Heterogeneity among …

Since the nineteenth century, the census has provided the number of 100‐year‐olds in
Brazil, one of the most populous countries worldwide. In 1900, 4,438 individuals reported …

The ability to predict when an individual will die can be extremely useful for many research
problems in aging. A technique for predicting death in the model organism, Drosophila …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) serves as an important model organism
in a wide variety of biological studies. In this paper we introduce a pipeline for automated …

Efforts to understand the emergence of an event require our ability to measure and
understand the dynamics between time in a state (eg, being alive or a behavior) and the …

Background Given the aging of the population, nephrologists are ever more frequently
assisting nonagenarians with acute kidney injury (AKI). The management of these patients …

Loci associated with longevity are likely to harbor genes coding for key players of molecular
pathways involved in a lifelong decreased mortality and decreased/compressed morbidity …

The prediction of human longevity levels in the future by direct forecasting of life expectancy
offers numerous advantages, compared to methods based on extrapolation of age-specific …
