Abstract
Environmental exposures contribute substantially to interindividual variation in aging outcomes, yet the range of exposures studied in the laboratory — or in relatively affluent human cohort studies — fails to capture the wide spectrum of challenges faced by human populations. Dan Nussey highlights how longitudinal studies of aging in the wild, such as the St Kilda Soay sheep project, can help us to understand variation in physiological resilience and healthy aging.
