title: [The kinetic theory of the aging of living systems].
abstract: Kinetic theory of aging of living systems is proposed. Theory is based on the concept of continuous adaptation of biological system (BS) from its birth to changing conditions of environment (ENV). Adaptation rate as rate of risk of destructions accumulation in BS is studied as competition between two simultaneous processes: BS destruction and recombination of damages defined by kinetics of autocatalytic chemical reactions. Kinetic theory assumes critical phenomenon: failure of adaptation when intensity of ENV impact becomes higher some critical level. Choice of parameters of kinetic mathematical model and accounting dependence of ENV impact intensity on time allows describing the following results observed in medical practice: child mortality, depletion of adaptive reserves, slowing the rate of aging of long-living persons, damped harmonic oscillations of biological response at pulse toxic intervention and to estimate risks of disease and death.
