AnnotationWhile agreeing with Robin Holliday's view that geriatric medicine is a discipline distinct from biogerontology, Leonard Hayflick sees a sharper demarcation between the ageing process and age-associated disease. Hayflick considers the determinants of longevity, and points to contradictions in the arguments put forward by Holliday in "The close relationship between biological aging and age-associated pathologies in humans" in this issue of Journals of Gerontology: Biological Sciences. The responses by these two authors indicate both agreement and continued differences of opinion. (RH).
