Abstract:
120 long-living women have been studied in Ajara with the purpose of revealing biogerontological factors associated with longevity. On the basis of special gerontological questionnaire survey and the genealogical research it has been revealed that the absolute majority of the long-livers was in happy and long marriage, most of them had stable partners and were in happy and long marriage. There are early as well as late marriages among the long-livers. However, the women who married at the age of reproductive puberty (from 18 to 30 years of age) considerably prevail among them. It seems that having many children is not directly associated with longevity. The correlation between late childbirth (over 40 years of age) and longevity was also shown. At the same time, the women having had their last delivery over 40 are distinguished by stronger health and high rate of longevity.

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
