Epidemiology of Human Longevity: The Search for Appropriate Methodology

Interestingness: 1

By Leonid A Gavrilov and Natalia S Gavrilova, in the Journal of Anti-Aging Medicine, March 2001 (pp 13-30, doi:10.1089/109454501750225659.)

So I found the paper anyway, on the Gavrilovs site, and I always read the Gavrilovs. This one wasn't interesting though. It's a longish paper suggesting a study to pick up genes that are associated with longevity, by looking at past records and looking at consanguinity and the age of the father at conception. They go through basis for the study,  lost of things to look for and account for.
