Life Can Be Prolonged by + 10 Years to Age of 70, Report.

'1t is possible to prolong life by 10 :

years to the age of 70, according to Dr. Louis L Dublin, Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. statistician. In a press release sent out by the Metropolitan Insurance Co, Dr. _ Dublin said growing old is not an incurable condition, It is possible, he said, to cause an extension of 10 . years to the average life expectancy of the American people. - “This can be done,” Dr. Dublin added, “despite the meager progress yecorded . throughout history in the fight against the so-called degenerative , considered the greatest health hazards old people have to face.” : Two Groups of Causes

"In discussing an analysis of deaths |

from degenerative diseases among the {insurance company’s industrial pol joy holders, Dr. Dublin stated that mortality from such ailments can be reduced. He pointed out that diseases characteristic of life after middle-age are the result of causes that may be divided into two seperate groups. “Some of the conditions are practically inevitable, and just a plain case of growing old,” he said, “but others appear as the aftermath of {nfections suffered in early life and n childhood. Against these” Dr. Dublin said, “we should not be helpless. Mortality from them can be reduced if fhe effort is made. This will follow {f the American people come to reals ize the importance of preventing infection and of guarding dgainst the after-effects of such ailments as rheumatic fever and the communicable diseases of childhood. The germs of such diseases may undermine the system, and in later years cause the appearance of one or ‘another of the so-called degen- * erative diseases—those of the heart, kidneys and arteries.

Outlines Present Gains

“The gain in the last half-century of more than 20 years in life expectancy has been accomplished almost altogether by controlling the diseases and conditions which afflict young people, particularly infants and children. Relatively little has been accomplished in lengthening the expectation of life after midfife. The best that we can say is that many more people are now attaining age 45 and over than in previous centuries. “But once they are at the midpoint of life, they are subjected to about the same hazards and to the same disabilities as have afflicted mankind throughout the historic period. If a real impression can be made on the causes which bring about chronic diseases—such as ailments of the heart, kidneys and blood vessels—if we can learn how to recognize their jnitial stages, and how to handle them better, then large additions can be made to this heretofore almost untouched field of life expectation of mature people, In my opinion, it is entirely possible to extend the average afterlife of our people at birth to 70 years.” "Dr. Dublin pointed out that a step in the right direction was taken toward combatting mortality from the degenerative diseases when ground - was broken on Welfare Island for a hospital for the treatment of chronic diseases, and a research agency established for their investigation.
