Description: This paper discusses the increasing body of demographic, genetic and medical data being generated from studies of centenarians and the increasingly greater genetic contribution to the ability to survive to ages beyond 100.

Description: These are the discussant comments for the concurrent session 4A: Longevity in the Public Eye from the January 4-6, 2017 Living to 100 Symposium in Orlando.

Description: Using population data, mortality rates are projected for people who will attain age 80 in the future. Finally, the distribution of the maximum age at death that will be attained by a Canadian is investigated.

Description: Discussion of paper presented at Living to 100 and Beyond symposium. Discusses paper by Guo and Wang on the use of data mining to determine the key factors affecting mortality rates at older ages.

Description: Discussion among experts. From 2005 Living to 100 and Beyond Monograph, M-LI05-1.

Description: Presented at Living to 100 Symposium, January 2011. This paper focuses on the issues confronting employers as they seek to manage their talent in a country with an aging population. It focuses on the goals of employers and employees and examines patterns of work as the population ages.

Description: This article discusses the sources of the information in the Social Security Death Master File and the potential utility of this information for demographic studies of centenarians and near-centenarians.

Description: Presented at Living to 100 symposium, January 2011. Using data from Social Security's Death Master File, this study shows that mortality deceleration in humans observed at advanced ages may be an artifact caused by age exaggeration, data heterogeneity or use of improper estimates of hazard rate. The phenomenon of mortality deceleration at older ages vanishes for datasets of higher data quality.

Description: Presented at Living to 100 symposium, January 2011. The outcome of achieving a way to slow or stop the aging process in humans would have profound consequences that would affect virtually every human institution. In this paper, the author discusses the impact on human life if a means were found to slow the human aging process. It is the author’s belief that most of the consequences would not benefit either the individual or society.
