Biology of Aging A&S Jim Lund Class website:

What is the topic of this class? This class will not cover the sociology or psychology of old people or the the diseases of old age. This course will cover the aging process: how and why organisms age

What is the topic of this class? What is aging if not the diseases of the old? Do all organisms age the same? How do lifespans vary among organisms? Why do animals age? Why do some people live to 100 but others die young? Can anything be done about aging?

What is aging?

Aging is a biological process Aging not disease, per se. Aging is a progressive process that converts a healthy, fit organism into a less healthy, less fit organism.

What is aging? Aging is a process of general, irreversible, and progressive physical deterioration that occurs over time. Genes, Aging, and Immortality. Charlotte A. Spencer

Why do animals age?

Human lifespan demographics.

Comparing lifespans among species

Aging phenotypes Resistance to high oxygen levels declines with age

Premature Aging (Progeria)

Environmental effects Sun damage causes premature aging of the skin:

Smoking->premature aging

Universality of aging HumanMouse Yeast Worm

Aging junk science Monkey glands Human growth hormone DHEA Supplements Oxygen chambers “Purification”

Centenarians: what have we learned from studying them?

What we’ve learned from model organisms Hekimi and Leonard Guarente, 2003

Aging Theories Telomeres Free Radicals (molecules with unpaired electrons) Accumulated damage theory Evolutionary aging theory Aging is still poorly understood!

What can be done about aging? Today, very little can be done! Healthy lifestyle Avoid premature aging Prevent diseases of aging Caloric restriction?
