Figure 2. Preferential survival fast- versus slow-aging individuals. (A) In the past, slow-aging individuals (open circles) died prematurely and fast-aging individuals (closed circles) survived into old age. (B) Now, slow-aging individuals (open circles) survived into old age as healthy (biologically young) and outlive faster aging individuals (closed circles).
