Ultimate limit to human longevity
Byung Mook Weon
Are there limits to human longevity? We suggest a new demographic model to describe human demographic trajectories. Specifically, the model mathematically defines the limits of lon…
Introduction to new demographic model for humans
Byung Mook Weon
The Gompertz model since 1825 has significantly contributed to interpretation of ageing in biological and social sciences. However, in modern research findings, it is clear that th…
Demographic trajectories for supercentenarians
Byung Mook Weon
A fundamental question in aging research concerns the demographic trajectories at the highest ages, especially for supercentenarians (persons aged 110 or more). We wish to demonstr…
Complementarity between survival and mortality
Byung Mook Weon
Accurate demographic functions help scientists define and understand longevity. We summarize a new demographic model, the Weon model, and show the application to the demographic da…
Complementarity principle on human longevity
Byung Mook Weon
In recent we introduced, developed and established a new concept, model, methodology and principle for studying human longevity in terms of demographic basis. We call the new model…
Mortality decrease and mathematical limit of longevity
Byung Mook Weon
We wish to verify that the mortality deceleration (or decrease) is a consequence of the bending of the shape parameter at old ages. This investigation is based upon the Weon model…
