Abstract The total immediate ancestral longevity (TIAL) score was first introduced by Raymond Pearl as a convenient parameter for quantitating human longevity. TIAL is the summed ages at death of the six immediate ancestors (namely parents and four grandparents) of a propositus. In this communication, I present the calculations of TIAL score for Einstein (1879–1955) and three of his scientist peers, namely Charles Darwin (1809–1882), Irene Joliot Curie (1897–1956) and Aage Bohr (1922–). The…

Jeanne Calment's unique 122-year lifespan: facts and factors; longevity history in her genealogical tree.
TLDR
The study of JC's genealogical tree on 6 generations, using longevity performance and TIAL (Total immediate ancestor longevity) indicators, shows how her ancestors have been living 10% longer on average at each generation, increasingly overperforming their French 25-year-old contemporaries, from around 7% in the early 18th century.
Metabolic aging and predicted longevity: Results of a cross-sectional study in post-menopausal women
TLDR
The results suggest that immune function may predict familial differences in longevity, while energy expenditure, body temperature, lipid profile, and dietary intake are unrelated.
O segredo da longevidade segundo as percepes dos prprios longevos
TLDR
The analysis of old-aged men's discourse led to the conclusion that the perception of the factors can be grouped around progressively inclusive categories that culminate in the collective representation that longevity depends on the balance between negative life-destroying factors and healthy, life-generating and life-preserving factors.
