迟缓症已经获得了广泛的声誉，因为它有能力在一种被称为隐生生物的不活跃的非代谢状态下存活一个多世纪。然而，仔细观察经验证据，就不能支持迟滞能够存活一个世纪的说法。相反，目前的证据表明，十年可能更现实地代表了最具抵抗力的迟滞中隐生生物生存的上限。
Tardigrades have achieved a widespread reputation for an ability to survive more than a century in an inactive, ametabolic state called cryptobiosis. However, a closer look at the empirical evidence provides little support for the claim that tardigrades are capable of century-long survival. Instead, current evidence suggests that a decade may more realistically represent the upper limit of cryptobiotic survival in the most resistant tardigrades.
