Tabár, L., Duffy, S. W. & Chen, H. H. Re: Quantitative interpretation of age-specific mortality reductions from the Swedish breast cancer-screening trials.
The age-specific mortality rate is the most informative actuarial function for investigations of the aging process.
m x – age-specific mortality rate (deaths per 100,000 population) in sex/age group.
In the absence of age-specific mortality data for all HPV-related cancers, except for cervical cancer, age-specific mortality was modeled as a percentage of the annual incident cases dying.
Let, be the age-specific mortality of the susceptible, the infective and the recovered individuals at time, respectively.
Moreover, with the exception of cervical cancer, case-fatality rates were used to estimate age-specific mortality.
OBJECTIVE: Gender- and age-specific mortality rates were calculated to determine the role of behavioral and biologically based differences in health.
Age-specific mortality levels off at advanced ages in many species; one explanation for this phenomenon is provided by the population heterogeneity theory.
METHODS: Gender- and age-specific mortality rates were computed and displayed using the logarithmic transform of the rates for five-year age categories.
Age-specific incidence and age-specific mortality of HPV-related diseases was used to calculate the HPV attributable mortality and morbidity.
where M [xi] is a vector of age-specific mortality rates with elements m' x for x < = x i and m x for x > =x i.
