A tanulmány Benjamin Gompertz elõször 1825-ben publikált, híressé vált függvényét mutatja be, melynek eredeti rendeltetése a “halandóság ereje” fogalmának a halandóság elemzéséhez történõ bevezetése volt. Tanulmányunk az eredeti Gompertz-formula megfelelõ átalakításával újradefiniálja a halandósági tábla függvényeit, és példákkal szemlélteti a Gompertz-függvény megnövekedett felhasználási lehetõségeit az általános korspecifikus termékenységi arányszámok és ez utóbbiak kumulált értékei, a házas termékenység korspecifikus arányszámai, a legalább i számú gyermeket szült nõknek a paritás-specifikus termékenységi táblákon belüli száma, a belsõ vándorlás korspecifikus arányszámai, a halandósági tábla továbbélési függvénye és halálozási valószínûségei modellezésében. Bemutatja, hogy a Gompertz-függvény egyes esetekben kétszer, sõt háromszor is illeszthetõ az illeszkedés szorosságának növelése, illetve valamely több függvénybõl álló modellrendszer elõállítása céljából. Alkalmazási lehetõségeinek illusztrálása fõként az 1983. évi magyarországi adatok felhasználásával történt.

Continued from page 2 IN 1996, FINCH AND USC However, in a study published in the May 1996 issue of the Journal of Gerontology, Finch and Pike found that people living in wealthy, developed regions are at a 10-times lower risk for disease and environmental hazards than those living in parts of Asia and Africa. By reducing infectious disease, accidents and natural disasters to one-50th the current level, the scientists calculate, half of all 50-year-olds could live up to 120 years. This, however, depends on huge medical advances. FINCH HAS BEEN INTERESTED As an undergraduate at Yale University in the late 1950s, Finch studied physics, as did many young men caught up in the post-Sputnik science boom. Finch completed a thesis on the molecular mechanisms of aging and took a post at Cornell University in 1970, but was lured to Los Angeles in 1972 by the prospect of starting a new school of gerontology, the first of its kind in the United States. Finch and Thomas Kirkwood of the University of Newcastle, in England, had the notion that chance variation, while clearly recognized for years, has never been properly observed. How else to explain genetically identical worms, raised under the same laboratory conditions, dying over a three-fold range of ages? Or inbred mice, born of the same mother and reared in the same environment, dying over a similarly wide variation? Human twin studies also exhibit unusual differences in life spans.

VAN MOZES TOT MOZES IS ER NIEMAND ZOALS MOZES Uit het leven van Mozes en Judith Montefiore Ode aan Mozes Montefiore Hoewel Mozes Montefiore veel heeft bijgedragen aan de emancipatie van de Engelse joden, is hij veel bekender om zijn filantropie en hulp aan zijn onderdrukte geloofsgenoten in het buitenland. Door zijn tijdgenoten werd hij gezien als 'sjtadlan' - bemiddelaar, die zijn positie in de niet-joodse wereld volledig benutte ten gunste van de joden. We zien hem steeds heen en weer rennen tussen deze twee levenstaken. Het lijkt erop alsof hij zijn vele en lange afwezigheid buitens lands bij thuiskomst in Engeland met lange werkdagen wil compenseren. Hoe zijn geloofsgenoten over hem dachten, wordt verwoord door de Nederlands-joodse dichteres Estella Hijmans-Hertzveld (1837-1881) die onder het portret van Mozes Montefiore dat als afzonderlijk blad werd uitgegeven en gretig aftrek vond, dichtte: Liefde is 't doel des Hemelvaders, / Die U tot Zijn kinderen zendt, / En wanneer er een mocht wezen, / Die deez heil'gen plicht miskent: / Zweef gij vriend'lijk tot hem neder / Leer hem uw geheimenis: / "Dat hij 't beeld van God op aarde, / Zijn bestemming weldoen is. De familie De Montefiore's stammen af van een oud Italiaans-joods geslacht. In 1856 bestonden er drie Italiaanse steden in de Kerkelijke Staat met de naam Montefiore en alle drie kunnen ze als plaats van oorsprong van de familie in aanmerking komen, maar het is niet duidelijk uit welke van de drie de Montefiore's afkomstig zijn. De oudste papieren gaan terug tot Pesaro. In 1630 vinden we ze als kooplieden in Ancona. En vanuit Ancona is een deel van de familie of de gehele familie in Livorno terecht gekomen. De geschiedenis van de familie is neergeschreven in een manuscript dat bewaard werd in de bibliotheek van de 'Judith Lady Montefiore's Theological College' te Ramsgate. Daarin komt een afbeelding van het familiewapen voor dat Mozes Montefiore later officieel zou gaan gebruiken.

CATEGORIES TV RADIO COMMUNICATE ... INDEX SEARCH 29 Mar 2003 BBC Homepage BBC Radio The starkest feature of ageing - its hallmark, in fact - is that the risk of falling ill and dying increases inexorably as we get older. This unwelcome principle was first cast into mathematical form in 1825 by Benjamin Gompertz, a pioneer of actuarial science. What Gompertz found was that, like compound interest, adult mortality rates increase exponentially with age. In effect, your risk of dying doubles with every eight additional years that you live. If Gompertz were alive today, he would find that this fundamental property has not altered but that the overall level of death rates has fallen. It is as if the capital on which his compound interest was acting had grown less. The most significant trends affecting longevity today are the unexpected and continuing declines in the death rates of older people. If you had asked most experts just a couple of decades ago what they would have predicted for the patterns of mortality at the end of the century, the answer you would have received was that the continuing declines in preventable, early mortality would have revealed ever more clearly the rigid, immutable pattern of mortality associated with intrinsic ageing. The medical term to describe the change from a pattern of mortality dominated by acute infectious disease to a pattern in which the chronic degenerative diseases play the major role is the 'epidemiological transition'. Linked to this is the idea of 'mortality substitution'.

58. Hospital Practice: Screening In The Elderly: Principles And Practice benjamin gompertz (17791865) was the first to describe the complex relationshipbetween remaining life expectancy and annual mortality. http://www.hosppract.com/issues/2000/10/eldrich.htm

Screening in the Elderly: Principles and Practice J. SCOTT RICH HAROLD C. SOX Veterans Affairs Medical Center White River Junction, Vt. Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Lebanon, N. H. Data on the benefits of screening that have been obtained from studies of middle-aged adults cannot be extrapolated to the elderly; indeed, benefits decline appreciably with age. In addition, recommendations based on expert opinion are conflicting. The authors present an tailored, stepwise approach that weighs the benefits of screening against the risks and cost for each patient. Dr. Rich is Outcomes Group Research Fellow, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, White River Junction, Vt. Dr. Sox is Chair and Joseph M. Huber Professor, Department of Medicine, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, N. H. As more people live into the eighth and ninth decades of life, physicians increasingly will have to decide whether to routinely screen older patients. Because few clinical trials of screening and prevention have enrolled patients aged 70 years and older, an evidence-based answer to this question is unlikely in the near future. Until then, one way to decide about screening in the elderly is to follow recommendations that are based on expert opinion. Unfortunately, current guidelines differ, no doubt reflecting the scientific uncertainty that exists. For example, the American College of Physicians and American Society of Internal Medicine recommend against routine screening mammography for breast cancer in women older than 75 years; the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force states that evidence for or against routine screening in women older than 70 is insufficient to make recommendations; and the American Cancer Society and American Medical Association cite no upper age limit for routine screening. The recommendations for other conditions are similarly inconsistent.
