Survival as a function of life expectancy
It is well known that life expectancy can be expressed as an integral of the survival curve. The reverse that the survival function can be expressed as an integral of life expectancy is also true. 1. Relationship Let e(a) denote remaining life expectancy at age a and let `(a) denote the proportion surviving to age a (the survival function). Then (1) l(a) = e(0) e(a) exp ( − ∫ a
متن کاملEvidence-based life expectancy.
A large amount of research literature shows that persons with severe neurological injuries, whether from cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, or spinal cord injury, are subject to greater mortality rates than persons of the same age and sex in the general population. This is especially true when motor function is seriously impaired. It follows as a mathematical consequence that their life ex...
متن کاملForecasting continuously increasing life expectancy: what implications?
It has been proposed that life expectancy could linearly increase in the next decades and that median longevity of the youngest birth cohorts could reach 105 years or more. These forecasts have been criticized but it seems that their implications for future maximal lifespan (i.e. the lifespan of the last survivors) have not been considered. These implications make these forecasts untenable and ...
متن کاملThe future of life expectancy and life expectancy inequalities in England and Wales: Bayesian spatiotemporal forecasting
BACKGROUND To plan for pensions and health and social services, future mortality and life expectancy need to be forecast. Consistent forecasts for all subnational units within a country are very rare. Our aim was to forecast mortality and life expectancy for England and Wales' districts. METHODS We developed Bayesian spatiotemporal models for forecasting of age-specific mortality and life exp...
متن کاملKidney function, albuminuria and life expectancy
BACKGROUND Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate is associated with reduced life expectancy. Whether this association is modified by the presence or absence of albuminuria, another cardinal finding of chronic kidney disease, is unknown. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to estimate the life expectancy of middle-aged men and women with varying levels of eGFR and concomitant albuminuria. DESIG...
