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 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...
متن کاملMortality Salience Effects on the Life Expectancy Estimates of Older Adults as a Function of Neuroticism
Research has shown that reminders of mortality lead people to engage in defenses to minimize the anxiety such thoughts could arouse. In accord with this notion, younger adults reminded of mortality engage in behaviors aimed at denying vulnerability to death. However, little is known about the effects of mortality reminders on older adults. The present study examined the effect of reminders of d...
متن کاملCodon usage bias as a function of generation time and life expectancy
It has recently been demonstrated that human natural codon usage bias is optimized towards a higher buffering capacity to mutations (measured as the tendency of single point mutations in a DNA sequence to yield the same or similar amino acids) compared to random sequences. In this work, we investigate this phenomenon further by analyzing the natural DNA of four different species (human, mouse, ...
