Living To 100 And Beyond
From the Society of Actuaries: "Centenarians represent one of the fastest growing age groups in the U. S. Yet, factors indicating longevity and its time trends remain to be fully understood. Natalia Gavrilova and Leonid Gavrilov conducted this research, which explores possible predictors of exceptional human longevity such as familial factors, early-life living conditions, month-of-birth, and birth order." Actuarial data is of interest, if only to remind us that no existing influence on your potential healthy life span even begins to compare to the effects of future medical research and working anti-aging technologies - it's up to us to make sure those effects are large and positive!
