Dr. Hershey has done much research on aging of humans, corporations, and the universe. For people, he measures the basal metabolic rate and metabolic response to exercise using his patented Metabolism Wrist Calorimeter to analyze obesity, weight control, and to establish physical fitness and longevity.
Basal-Tech metabolism calorimeters (whole body, hat, and wrist) have been purchased, leased, and used in many locations, including these:

| Suppose
we find from your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) that your Daily Calorie Needs (DCN)
is 2000 Calories/day. This means if you consume 2000 Calories per day you
will maintain your present weight. |
|
|
| Suppose
we find your Obesity Factor is 0.8 , and you weigh 150 pounds. This means
your optimum weight is 120 pounds, and you are about 30 pounds overweight. |
| Obesity
Factor = optimum weight/actual weight = 120/150 = 0.8 Overweight = 150 – 120 = 30 |
Below is the data sheet used by Basal-Tech to collect the data.
To enter the data online, gather the needed numbers. Follow the link below to enter the data.
Once the data is collected, a report is generated indicating your Daily Calorie Needs, Metabolic Response to Exercise and your Longevity projections among other important values.
The longevity projections obtained are compared to values from 6 online life expectancy calculators. We enter the answers of the Hershey Lifestyle Questionnaire into the 6 online calculators.

Longevity Projection (LP1) |
|
We
will calculate the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and the Metabolic Response to
Exercise (MRE), and convert this to Excess Entropy Production (EEP), which
will yield the Longevity Projection (LP1) for the individual. |
|
We
will correlate the LP1 against six online “life expectancy” instruments. |
|
We will project improvements in LP1 for the individual undertaking a weight loss regimen, or improved diet, or more exercise, or other changes in his/her environment. |
|
In 1985,with data from the National Institutes of Health (NIH),and the National Institute on Aging (NIA), we calculated the Longevity Projection (LP1) and found it could predict the ages of death as follows: |
Death Cumulative Success Rate
Within 1 year……………………….16%
Within 2 years………………………23%
Within 3 years………………………32%
Within 5 years………………………58%
Within 7.5 years…………………….74%
Within 10 years……………………..94%
|
We
have been doing much of this since 1984 (Ph.D. thesis, |
|
In
1963, we began with a published paper, “Entropy, Basal Metabolism, and
Life Expectancy”, in Gerontologia. |
|
In
1980, we wrote a book, “A New Age Scale for Humans”, by Lexington Books. |
|
In
1985, we published a paper, “The Utilization of BMR Measurements as a
Routine Diagnostic Procedure in Normal Health Maintenance”, in Medical
Hypothesis. |
|
In
1987, we published a paper, “Entropy, Aging, and Death”, in Systems
Research. |
|
In
1990, we published a paper, “Longevity Projections for Human Females Using
Excess Entropy Production (EEP)”, in Systems Research. |
|
In 2004, we completed a new book, “Lifespan Potential, Longevity, Obesity, and Fitness in Aging Humans”, by Basal Books. |
| We
obtain the Basal Metabolic Rate and the Metabolic Response to Exercise by
measuring the individual’s blood pressure and heart rate with a wrist cuff
monitor, and integrating these data into our equations (contained in our
user-friendly computer program). This is accomplished simply,
non-invasively, quickly, and inexpensively, in 5 minutes.
In the distant past, we obtained the metabolism data using our
patented whole-body calorimeter. |
| We calculate the Longevity Projection (LP1) for the individual using the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and the Metabolic Response to Exercise (MRE) data, which are converted to Excess Entropy Production (EEP). Thermodynamic theory suggests that “senile” death could occur when the EEP goes to zero. We extrapolate the EEP data for the individual to zero, and obtain LP1. |
