A longevity claim is generally a modern extraordinary age claim that may or may not be true.

A longevity myth is made on the basis of folk or religious belief, and generally is considered scientifically false.05:49, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to further sub-categorize this category into:

A. religious longevity myths and

B. secular longevity myths (or, perhaps, debunked longevity claims).

Comments welcome.Ryoung122 06:29, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
