Longevity Among Hunter‐ Gatherers: A Cross‐Cultural Examination (2007, background): “Gompertz is not based on first biological principles although different explanations have been proposed to produce Gompertz-like mortality (Gavrilov and Gavrilova 2001, Olshansky and Carnes 1997).”
Quantification of biological aging in young adults (2015, background): “predict mortality more accurately than chronological age? J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 68(6):667–674.”
ApoE genotype accounts for the vast majority of AD risk and AD pathology. (2004, background): “Aging in biological systems may best be seen as a consequence of the massive scale of redundancy achieved by multi-cellular systems to compensate for the natural loss of system elements over time [16], which is described by a Gomperz curve (as opposed to a Weibull curve, as is seen for”
Frailty, fitness and late-life mortality in relation to chronological and biological age (2002, background): “, too many deficits are accumulated) any new insult leads to death [31].”
Understanding, modelling and managing longevity risk: key issues and main challenges (2012, background): “Gollier (2007, 2008), Hansen and Scheinkman (2009) and Breeden (1989)).”
The evolution of senescence from a comparative perspective (2008, background): “This type of catastrophic system failure implies that the passing of certain thresholds of damage can lead to rapid death (Gavrilov & Gavrilova 2001); however, the causes of death in wild populations are largely unknown.”
A handbook of parametric survival models for actuarial use (2012, neutral): “Above age 90 we normally see a slowdown in the rate of increase, called late-life mortality deceleration (Gavrilov & Gavrilova ( 2001 )), which militates against the Gompertz and Makeham laws.”
The Hazard Potential (2006, background): “There are other scenarios in which (a) is also germane; these have been alluded to by Gjessing et al. (2003); some examples are an understanding of neuronal degeneration, the sleep–wake cycles of individuals, and the longevity of humans (see Gavrilov and Gavrilova 2001).”
Frailty in relation to the accumulation of deficits. (2007, background): “Each results in declines in functional capacity (38,39) and redundancy exhaustion (40).”
