TL;DR: Research by demographers, epidemiologists and other biomedical researchers suggests that further progress is likely to be made in advancing the frontier of survival — and healthy survival — to even greater ages.
Abstract: Human senescence has been delayed by a decade. This finding, documented in 1994 and bolstered since, is a fundamental discovery about the biology of human ageing, and one with profound implications for individuals, society and the economy. Remarkably, the rate of deterioration with age seems to be constant across individuals and over time: it seems that death is being delayed because people are reaching old age in better health. Research by demographers, epidemiologists and other biomedical researchers suggests that further progress is likely to be made in advancing the frontier of survival — and healthy survival — to even greater ages.

Abstract: This volume brings together the opinions of biologists and demographers on the topic of human longevity. The chapters are divided into the following main sections: The empirical demography of survival; Evolutionary theory and senescence; The elderly in nature; and Data for the future. Throughout the volume an interdisciplinary approach to aging and longevity is advocated and stressed. (ANNOTATION)
