message: User:Sin-man tagged this article for clean-up on April 3, 2006 without any comment on this page or any indication of what was regarded as a problem. Since that time I have updated the referencing method, which certainly counts as a clean-up. If Sin-man wants more cleaning he will have to come clean about his view of the problem. --Ben Best 21:30, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure Methuselah should be mentioned under "In Humans".  It seems a bit unprofessional to use religious icons in an article meant to provide a scientific look at maximum life spans.  I haven't edited the article, but does anyone agree or disagree?

message: In the section 'increasing maximum life span' the statement 'Currently, the only (non-transgenic) method of increasing maximum life span that is recognized by biogerontologists is calorie restriction with adequate nutrition' (with an overly generic footnote source) ignores information on de Grey's website. The article currently mentions the Mprize de Grey sponsors. One winner of the prize was for 'Rapamycin fed late in life extends lifespan in genetically heterogeneous mice' (2009 prize). This research claimed an age increase of around 11 per cent depending on the sex of the mouse. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v460/n7253/full/nature08221.html Star A Star (talk) 07:12, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: New information

message: At http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-10-rejuvenated-stem-cells-coaxed-centenarian.html there is an article on 'Rejuvenated stem cells coaxed from centenarian' (October 31, 2011 by Marlowe Hood) which states 'Scientists said Tuesday they had transformed age-worn cells in people over 90 -- including a centenarian -- into rejuvenated stemcells that were 'indistinguishable' from those found in embryos. This information may be too generic for the focus of this article as it is early days yet and its applicability may be lacking, however it could also be argued it is of note.

message: Noakes (p. 84) notes that, on the basis of this hypothesis, athletes with a VO2max value between 50 and 60 at age 20 can be expected "to live for 100 to 125 years, provided they maintained their physical activity so that their rate of decline in VO2max remained constant. Of course, the reason few athletes ever achieve such longevity is that disease intervenes." Questionable reliability of source in this matter, this dubious claim being an example. Do a few diseases really wipe decades off of an athlete's life span so that they don't live much longer (if longer at all) than the general population?! --Xagg (talk) 18:20, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected links on Maximum life span which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global
If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

message: Ref 19 "However, a theoretical study also suggested that the maximum human life expectancy at birth is limited by the human life characteristic value δ, which is around 104 years"
"
Hypothesis: The living energy El, which is proportional to the quantity of a vital molecular unit that linearly decreases with time, is the energy to protect the chemical substance that is critical for life from being impaired by damaging energy (the magnitudes of challenges [4]) from other molecules or from itself. This hypothesis suggests that aging results from the imbalance between damaging energy and protecting energy for the critical chemical substance. The rate of senescence of the organism increases as the protecting energy decreases.
