Abstract
Every analysis of life-expectation begins with a study and definition of physiological longevity. Physiological longevity may be defined as that life duration which a healthy individual may expect to live under optimal environmental conditions until dying by senescence. Such an individual, having exhausted its inborn vital potentialities, dies because death is the end of every organized life.
