1The control groups for stress resistance and the lifespan of mutants (daf-16 and hsf-1) were referred to previously published data [12]. 2, where is the age category, is the number of worms that died in the age interval , and is the total number of worms. 3The median lifespan is the time at which the percentage of surviving worms equals 50%. 4The maximum lifespan is the time at which survival equals 0%. 5% effect was calculated by , where is the mean survival time of worms treated with carnosol and is the mean survival time of the control. 6The value was calculated using the log-rank test by comparing the carnosol-treated group with the control.
