Textul de pe ultima copertă
Up to what point will life expectancy increase? Is there a theoretical or practical limit to human longevity and does it shift or not? Is it utopian to envisage a life expectancy of 100 years or more at birth? What are the respective roles of genetics and environment? Under which conditions and at what price are these years of life gained? The editors and authors hope to have answered some of these questions in this book, presenting the papers of the first Colloques Medecine et Recherche of Fondation IPSEN on longevity.
