Age dynamics of human body mass (090 years) is described as a function of periodic damped oscillations. Common regularities are found in the age changes of mass, of entropic equivalenta parameter equivalent to thermodynamic entropy, and of intensity of natural mortality. It is shown that the mass reflects the biological system thermodynamic state and is measured oppositely directed to the entropy value. The second, third, and fourth extremes of the mass age dynamics correspond to the mean (7075 years), the commonly accepted maximal (100110 years), and the maximal known (140150 years) human lifespan, while the mass oscillations cease at the age associated with the maximal known lifespanabout 145 years.
