出版済み 3-5週間でお届けいたします。
老化と長寿の生物人口学 Author: Lemaitre, Jean-Francois (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)) / Pavard, Samuel (National Museum of Natural History, Paris)(Editor) Publisher: Cambridge University Press ISBN: 9781316519196 Cover: HARDCOVER Date: 2024年11月 DESCRIPTION 学際的な本書はヒトとその他の種を超えて、さらには時間と空間を超えて、老化と長寿のメカニズムと人口統計学的パターンに関する最新の知識を提供します。学生と研究者の必読書として、重要な事実、理論、進行中の研究分野、大きな疑問、そして研究の新たな道を包括しています。 Why and how we age are probably two of science's oldest questions, echoing personal beliefs and concerns about our own finitude. From the earliest musings of ancient philosophers to recent pharmacological trials aimed at slowing ageing and prolonging longevity, these questions have fascinated scientists across time and fields of research. Taking advantage of the natural diversity of ageing trajectories, within and across species, this interdisciplinary volume provides a comprehensive view of the recent advances in ageing and longevity through a biodemographic approach. It includes the key facts, theories, ongoing fields of investigation, big questions, and new avenues for research in ageing and longevity, as well as considerations on how extending longevity integrates into the social and environmental challenges that our society faces. This is a useful resource for students and researchers curious to unravel the mysteries of longevity and ageing, from their origins to their consequences, across species, space and time. * Includes cutting-edge research on the evolution of ageing to provide a better understanding of its biological, environmental and, in some cases, social and cultural factors by * Compiles a vast literature on ageing and longevity across multiple disciplinary fields, from evolutionary biology to social sciences, and many levels of study, from genes to societies * Makes a case for the social importance of continued progress towards living healthier and longer lives in order to reduce inequalities between humans and buffer the impacts of human societies on their environment TABLE OF CONTENTS Contents List of contributors Foreword Steve Horvath Acknowledgments 1.
