        According to the majority of scientists, the greatest difference maker to the aging process is inherited through one's genetic coding. I'm surprised that this factor was completely omitted from the article.

          Agree with you to a certain extent, Spade, but there are extraordinary exceptions. (I'm sure I'm one of them).

          Lifestyle plays a huge role in the aging process, which includes one's personal attitude. "As soon as you think you're too old to do something, do it!" is a good credo, in this regard.

          There is also the age-old rule of thumb (for men): "You're as old as the woman you feel"

          Interesting thread.

          Thanks Hurr: quite interesting! It also is important to be young in its own spirit...I know a lot of people who already are old at 20 years , and I know a lot of people who ALWAYS will be young (even if they must live until 110 years)LOL!

          Good points about the hypothalamus, but it's pretty simplified (the rest).

              Thank you for the article. I always wonder what problems are caused by the environment instead of what we were naturally born with. I think we would live a lot longer if we only knew what we were doing that was killing us.

              second hand smoke, fatty foods, God help us if they discover problems with what they put in 'diet foods' related to mortality. The food industry and this country would be in a panic.

              Nice article. Thanks.

                    go along with

                    " External factors brought about by the environment are also some of the very viable reasons behind the aging process. Environmental harms such as pollution, radiation, contaminants coupled with self induced stress, and poor nutrition inflict damage on human cells. Significant damage is instantly inflicted upon these cells once they are exposed to such harmful external factors. Cells play a very substantial role on the process of aging because they contain valuable information for the human body's development. Whenever a cell reproduces or divides itself, it makes sure that the new cell is of the same level with the previous cell that it originated from. If that previous cell received any slightest form of damaged from the previously mentioned factors, it will then spawn new cells that possess slightly deformed information sets. This will then start a trend of degenerated cells which leads to what is commonly known as the aging process."

                      The hypothalamus is solely responsible for setting the "traffic" of various hormones to other glands. Through the course of time, the hypothalamus becomes weary and tends to be inaccurate in releasing proper amounts of hormone to other glands in the human body.
