This Shipslides page presents Aging — The Mechanics of Getting Older as an interactive HTML presentation deck in the Health catalog with 13 slides. The share page keeps the uploaded deck sandboxed while exposing readable context, topics, and a slide outline for viewers and search engines.
Average life expectancy in 1900 hovered around the mid-40s. Today it sits near 79 in high-income countries — but the gain came mostly from preventing infants and young adults from dying, not from extending old age. Key sections include: AGING / The mechanics of getting older; We almost doubled the human lifespan in a century.; The Hayflick limit, 1961.; The hallmarks of aging.; Genomic instability.; Telomere attrition.; Epigenetic alterations.; Mitochondrial dysfunction.; Cellular senescence — the zombie cells.; Stem cell exhaustion..
