Claim:
1. A method for screening for and selecting biological compositions that have an effect upon the chronological lifespan of a population of at least 100 organisms by determining the change in the mobility of a population of organisms over time, wherein the organisms are selected from the group consisting of: Caenorhabditis elegans and Danio rerio ; and wherein the organisms are labelled, said method comprising applying a biological composition to the population of organisms and: a) obtaining a first image (I b) obtaining a second image (I c) calculating the absolute differences between I d) obtaining a third image (I e) obtaining a fourth image (I f) calculating the absolute differences between I g) calculating the change between ΔD (h) determining whether the biological composition exhibits an effect upon the chronological lifespan of the population when compared to a population that has not been exposed to the biological composition, wherein biological compositions that extend the chronological lifespan of the population of organisms are selected.
