Considering that all living beings build their own structure with the energy they dissipate (Margalef Principle), it is necessary to understand the relationship between this principle and the aging process. To this end, we set the following objectives: To verify the correlation between the evolution of body mass and energy dissipation, and to verify the correlation between the evolution of body mass and the passage of time throughout human life. As a result of data analysis, we obtained a high degree of correlation between energy dissipation and body mass generation. No significant correlation was found between the passage of time and the evolution of body mass throughout life. These results confirm the Margalef Principle and support its consideration as a process independent of time elapsed.
