Abstract
⺠We use an approach of cumulative deficits to evaluate the rate of aging in participants of the Long-Life Family Study (LLFS). ⺠We examine if these rates were altered by gender, disability, or morbidity. ⺠The aging rates are the same for males and females. ⺠The aging rates are the same for healthy and unhealthy individuals. ⺠Disability qualitatively alters patterns of the aging rates of the LLFS participants.
