[On the biophysical interpretation of ageing-factors (author's transl)].
The ageing-factor is a measure for the rate of ageing. In the model of vitality the error rate mu corresponds to the ageing-factor. The ageing-factors of several physical functions can be determined from the ascent of decrease of these functions. The standardized ageing-factors of the considered physiological functions range from 0.001 to 0.017 year--1 and are smaller than the ageing-factor of the whole organism. The date of the occurrence of pathological manifestations as a result of ageing-conditioned decrease of functions can be estimated by means of the ageing-factors.
