               When you finish this article, you'll be older than when you
               started it! That's because growing older is a gradual, life-long
               process. Aging starts at the moment you are born.

               How old is old? You may think you're young, but someone
               your age is old to a baby brother or sister. The longest human
               life span -- the length of time between birth and death -- isn't
               more than 120 years, and hasn't changed much over the
               course of history. But life expectancy -- the average length of
               time a person of a particular age may expect to live -- has
               changed dramatically.

               If you were born in 1900 in this country, you could have
               expected to live 47 years. A baby born today can expect to
               live almost 76 years. Better nutrition and clean drinking water
               as well as biomedical discoveries such as the immunizations
               you get to prevent measles and other diseases and medicines
               that treat strep throat have all brought about this change.

               We all age differently. Some people get deep wrinkles, others
               don't. You can get clues about how you will age by studying
               your parents and grandparents. Scientists believe that
               heredity, or the passing of traits from parents to their children,
               is responsible for about 30% of the differences in life
               expectancy.
