jetgjatësinë

Jetgjatësia refers to the maximum lifespan of an individual organism within a species. It is a theoretical upper limit, representing the longest possible age that a member of that species could achieve under ideal conditions. This concept is distinct from average lifespan, which is the typical age attained by individuals in a population and is often influenced by environmental factors, disease, and predation.

The study of jetgjatësia has long been of interest to biologists and gerontologists. Factors influencing jetgjatësia are believed to include genetic predispositions, cellular repair mechanisms, and resistance to age-related diseases. While average lifespans can vary significantly between populations of the same species due to differing environmental pressures, the jetgjatësia is thought to be a more stable, genetically determined characteristic.

For humans, the current estimated jetgjatësia is around 120 to 125 years, though some researchers propose higher theoretical limits. This is based on observations of individuals who have lived exceptionally long lives. Research into extending human jetgjatësia often focuses on understanding the biological processes of aging and exploring interventions that could slow or reverse them. However, achieving the maximum potential lifespan remains a complex challenge due to the intricate interplay of various biological systems.
