Compared to the Status Quo, the Alternative strategy increased the mean number initiating ART annually by 1,100 to 6,980, which increased life expectancy per cohort by 0.1 years to 3.7 years; total life-years accumulated by 15,000 to 555,000 life-years; and ART coverage by 18.9% to 29.0%.
From 1970 to 2000, gains in life expectancy added about $3.2 trillion per year to national wealth.
The current study's findings showed that male residents of the industrialized county seemed to be more susceptible to health effects of industrialisation, with significantly less increased life expectancy (0.123 years less per year) than male residents of the reference county.
Of the 150,000 identified over 5 years, 5,880 individuals on average initiated ART annually under the Status Quo, resulting in life expectancy per cohort of 3.6 years; 540,000 accumulated life-years (3.6 years x 30,000 individuals/cohort x 5 cohorts = 540,000 life-years); and ART coverage of 24.4%.
Please see Figure 1 for charts 1 and 2 below show the probability that the cost per year of life expectancy gained, or the cost per year of quality adjusted life expectancy gained, is below any given value of a ceiling ratio (a willingness to pay).
And while it may seem daunting, even terrifying, to try and calculate the cost of living longer, Arrison says the math works in our favor -- simply put, 'health equals wealth.' Arrison reports that gains in life expectancy from 1970 to 2000 added about $3.2 trillion per year to national wealth.
Finally, Yellowstone ungulate species are quite similar in fecundity (all producing 1 2 young per year) and life expectancy (all reaching between one and two decades [27], [52]) so differences in population turnover are unlikely to skew the proportional representation of species.
Murphy & Topel [ 3] find that the cumulative value of improvements in life expectancy in recent decades exceeds $3 trillion per year, much more than the annual health care expenditures.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.00051.002 In the 20th century, global life expectancy rose by about 90 days per year, with much of that increase driven by substantial declines in childhood mortality (Oeppen, 2002; Vallin and Meslé, 2009).
2.5 life expectancy years per decade (Oeppen and Vaupel 2002)—observed in countries of the world where historical rates of increase have been highest.
