Abstract: Longitudinal studies of aging concerning individuals with comparable lifestyle, diet, health profile, socioeconomic status, and income remain extraordinarily rare. The purposes of our ongoing project are as follows: (i) to collect extensive data on biological and medical aspects of aging in the Polish population, (ii) to determine factors affecting the rate and course of aging, (iii) to understand how aging unfolds as a dynamic and malleable process in ontogeny, and (iv) to find novel predictors of longevity. … Show more

“…It has previously been established that body height is a good and reliable proxy for health status at both progressive and regressive stages of ontogeny, and tallness is believed to be associated with better health, higher SES, reduced all-cause mortality, and longer life expectancy (Waaler 1984;Nyström Peck and Vågerö 1987;Holl et al 1991;Allebeck and Bergh 1992;Elo and Preston 1992;Herbert et al 1993;Power and Matthews 1997;Silventoinen et al 1999;Cavelaars et al 2000;Jousilahti et al 2000;Lawlor et al 2002;2004;Engeland et al 2003;Kemkes-Grottenthaler 2005;Song and Sung 2008;Austad 2010;Kirkwood 2010;Özaltin 2012;Chmielewski et al 2015a;2015b;2016a;2016b;Perkins et al 2016). The better health status, nutrition, environmental conditions, medical care, and prophylaxis during the progressive development, the taller the individuals are in a given population.…”

“…First, individuals born earlier were significantly shorter than those who were born later (the secular changes in height), and the latter lived significantly shorter than the former (the cohort effect) because the lifetime of each subject lasted until the fixed limit of the years 2004-2008. Second, long-lived subjects are also shorter, on average, than their short-lived peers as they experience the regressive changes in body height for a relatively longer time (Sorkin et al 1999;Chmielewski et al 2015a;2015b;2016b). Although only the first effect was controlled in the present study, the second one is unlikely to blur the longevity picture.…”

“…Noteworthy, ill and treated subjects were thus excluded from the study sample and this was the only selection criterion, which means that the sample is random because no other selection criteria were applied. Further details of the study population and data collection are described elsewhere (Chmielewski et al 2015a;2015b;2016a;2016c;2017).…”

“…We have overcome these difficulties by collecting extensive data, both longitudinal and cross-sectional, that include numerous physiological and biochemical parameters from older adults of both sexes who were studied longitudinally for at least 25 years (between the ages of 45 and 70), which means that this could be an introduction to the Polish Longitudinal Study of Aging (PLSA) or at least useful data for meta-analysis (Chmielewski et al 2015a;2015b;2016a;2016c;2017). Based on these data, we aim to explore the association between STB and long-term survival in older adults of both sexes from the same population that was studied longitudinally for a very long time.…”

“…This fact boosts the value of the study sample and makes it quite unique. Further details of the study sample and data collection are described elsewhere (Borysławski et al 2015;Chmielewski et al 2015a;2015b;2016). To analyze changes with age in the selected parameters as well as test possible differences in the individuals who differed in body size, three anthropometric measures were used and three dichotomous divisions of the study sample were made.…”
