English summary: Performance-reducing signs of aging and age-related diseases that are associated most frequently with the human aging process, such as Osteoporosis, arthritis and osteoarthritis, rheumatism, and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, are absent in many organisms that die without visible and/or long-term signs of aging, often closely following a successful reproduction process. All this raises the obligatory (modern) question of genetic fixation of age (program theory of aging), as well as the question of the programmed death, which would then be enshrined within the genes. However, a singular, ultimate aging gene does not seem to exist. It is estimated that about 7,000 different regulator genes exist that affect aging directly or indirectly. To address them all makes little sense.
