The effect of demographic aging is a decline in fertility transition, reduced mortality rate of older persons, increased dependency ratio and a shrinking labor force.

Besides, the people kept childhood friendships active as they moved into old age and community members integrated. Cultural values entrenched a strong respect for the elderly, which ...

In the article titled, “Longevity Among Hunter- Gatherers: A Cross-Cultural Examination”, by Michael Gurven and Hillar Kaplan, the authors find that survival of Homo sapiens has gradually increased and people who lived before us, has a shorter life span than people of the current time. The longevity in this article is described as senescence-associated age of death. If human lifespan is divided into three phases: childhood, adulthood and older adult (after 40 years of age), mortality rates are higher among older adults. Lifestyle changes and better sanitation practices have helped to reduce mortality rates across all three phases of ...

The report also noted other important findings, which exacerbated the need for better therapeutic options in dealing with dementia, ...

Synthetic biology is the latest trend that integrates biology with engineering. It deals with the making of biological molecules or systems that does not natural in the biological world. These molecules or system that are constructed, help to complement natural biological systems and help in performing particular biological task (Khalil and Collins 367-379). A simple example of synthetic biology would be manipulation of bacteria through recombinant technologies to produce recombinant protein. A vast number of applications are possible with synthetic biology. With the advancement that are currently happening in the area of bioinformatics, it is possible to reprogram human ...

Popular music tends to be a very generational thing. The parent’s favorite groups often sound old fashioned to the child—and the parent can’t understand what the child sees in their favorite music, which in the parent’s mind is nowhere near the quality of what he listened to as a child. It is the rare piece of popular music that has the staying power to still be relevant decades after its release, something that’s especially true now when there are so many different styles of popular music in the world. But while this may mean ...

The researchers assess the overall satisfactions of partners in a relationship based on the availability of positive nonverbal cues. Scott et.al (2010) tests two essential variables, that is, overall satisfaction and relationship longevity, with respect to the use of the positive ...

In Tissenbaum and Guarente's research study, they concluded that increasing the dosage of a SIR2 gene is associated with extended lifespan of roundworms, Caenorhabditis elegans (Tissenbaum & Guarente 228). To easily understand their research study, let us discuss a little background abound longevity of C. elegans. In 1997, a research study headed by Kimura, Tissenbaum, Liu and Ruvkun found the gene that potentially regulates the longevity and diapause in Caenorhabditis elegans. In C. elegans, their life cycle after the initial larval stage can proceed to two different stages: either the reproductive stage, or the dauer diapause stage (Hu). In their ...

The debate on whether to consider aging either as a natural and inevitable process or as a disease has been raging on for decades. Those who consider aging a natural process such as Callahan (1990) and Fukuyama (2002) argue that the quest to extend life does not necessarily imply a better life or is inconsistent with human nature (Caplan, 2005). Conversely, contemporary scientists are increasingly adopting the view that aging is a disease because it fits the biological definition of a disease and has a distinct cause and recognizable signs and symptoms (Bulterijis, Hull, Bjork, & Roy, 2015).

They have to evaluate the possible quality of life of patients after they receive the transplants, and factors like longevity are a concern, but so are less quantitative ones, like their ability to contribute to society. Also, factors that are less specific to the patient can come into play, such as the ability of family members or ...

In spite of the significant advancement in science and technology, the science behind lifespan is still a mystery. The theories that explain the process of aging and life span, are broadly divided into programmed and error theories (Jin, 2010).

According to the programmed longevity theory, aging follows a biological timetable, which is innate and heritable. The theory was first suggested by August Weismann. He theorized that; there is an actual limit to the extent of somatic cell division in a species, and this is ...
