The paper introduces a saturating removal model to explain end-of-life dynamics across species, showing it accurately captures morbidity patterns and predicts key phenomena in flies, mice, and humans.

This paper estimates that the heritability of human lifespan is about 50% when accounting for extrinsic factors and cutoff age effects, challenging the consensus that genetics has a minor role in lifespan.

The paper presents a theory predicting which longevity interventions compress relative sickspan by steepening the survival curve, supported by evidence from mice, C. elegans, and Drosophila.
