Genetic Influences on Lifespan Variance and Healthspan in Caenorhabditis elegans

Why do some people live for longer than others? The genes in our DNA sequence are important, helping avoid disease or maintain general health, but differences in our genome sequence alone explain less than 30% of the natural variance of human life expectancy.
