  7. Life expectancy and infant mortality throughout human history Life expectancyInfant mortality rateat birth (years)(per 1000 live births) Prehistoric 20-35200-300 Sweden, 1750s 37 210 India, 1880s 25230 U. S., 1900 48133 France, 1950 6652 Japan, 1996 804

  8. Proportion of population aged 0-14 versus 65+(In Italy)

  9. Figure 2.5: Maximum life span in Sweden

  10. Annual number of females reaching 100 years in the North European countries Number of centenarians per million inhabitants in Denmark (1800-1994)

  11. Centenarians: USA 1990: Harvard University started New England Centenarian Study (JAMA 288:18 p. 2247, 2002). Data from this study refute the idea that aging represents an inexorable march…characterized by a steady decline. Rather, centenarians are generally in very good health. They are either: • Escapers “People who have escaped any disease” • Late onset of disease, 85+ • Early onset of disease which was overcome JAPAN 2004: Reports identify • SSC (Semi-Super Centenarians), age 105+ years. • SC (Super Centenarians), 110+ years In both groups, alterations in the gene coding for I / IGF-1 receptor

  12. Dr. John Wilmoth Christian Mortensen 1882-1998

  13. Average Lifespan at Birth for Females, 1990-1995 and Lifespan Differential in Years Developed Countries F-M Japan 82 6 Sweden 81 6 Italy 80 6 France 81 8 United Kingdom 77 5 USA 80 7 USSR (previous) 75 10 Developing Countries Argentina 75 7 China 73 3 Turkey 70 5 Brazil 69 6 Egypt 63 2 India 61 1 Kenya 61 4

  14. Probable causes for longevity in favor of women: • Genetic (XX vs. XY) or Environmental (geography, country, income) • Other causes: Lesser life stress in females Less smoking Protective action of estrogens? Lesser accumulation of mDNA deletions/mutations with better protection against oxidative damage Others? Implication for prevention and treatment

  15. Older women whose parents survived past age 90 are generally healthier than women whose parents did not survive as long. These women … • overall death rates • die of cardiovascular disease • report a diagnosis of diabetes • mental and mobility limitaions • risk of hip fracture and non-spine fractures* • have higher self-rated quality of life • have faster walking speed and better measures of grip strength • *reduced fracture risk seen for maternal, but not paternal survival past age 90 • Data from the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF), Peggy Cawthon
