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).
