Empirical Determination of the Geriatric State for Individual Health Markers
Marker | Day | Mean | Max | % Max |
---|---|---|---|---|
Speed (µm/s) | 12 | 75.2 | 207.3 | 36.3 |
Max speed (µm/s) | 12 | 188.7 | 390.2 | 48.3 |
Max amplitude (µm) | 19 | 150.6 | 206.9 | 72.8 |
Thermotolerance (hours) | 13 | 2.3 | 5.3 | 43.6 |
Note: % Max = the percentage of the maximal value when geriatric; Day = day of adulthood geriatric onset for wild-type N2 worms; Max = maximum value each marker observed in wild-type over life span; Max Amp = maximum bending amplitude (µm); Max Speed = maximum movement speed (µm/s); Mean = mean value for each marker when N2 becomes geriatric; Speed = mean movement speed (µm/s).
