This paper studies the influence of a number of biological (number of children, age of reaching menarche and climax, lifespan of parents) and social factors (place of living, nature of work) on aging rates in elderly and long-living women in Transnistria (city of Tiraspol). Biological age and aging rates are estimated using the “Diagnostics of Aging” computer program that includes a set of functional markers for the cardiovascular, respiratory, and neuromuscular systems and other data. Long-living women are characterized by later term of the first delivery and a longer reproductive period. As for social factors, the closest relation with aging rates and lifespan is noted for the character of professional activity: the women involved in work with a high physical load are characterized by accelerated aging rates.
