Description

Today, as a result of social progress and developments in medicine, the average human lifespan exceeds seventy years. Is this the limit? Why do we age? What mechanism lies at the base of this phenomenon, and are there means to retard it? What is the physiological norm for each age group? The author, who is a professor and Doctor of Medicine, answers all these questions from the position of modern science. The book is intended for doctors, biologists, and anyone who is interested in contemporary biomedicine. The book was translated from the Russian by M. Rosenberg, translation edited by T. Juswigg and was first published by Mir in 1989.
