Pigs: Farrowing crates are used in the UK for a few weeks after piglets are born, something which hugely reduces young mortality; most countries use significantly smaller sow pens and the animals are kept in them most of the year.
Conditional Smarca5-null mice display abnormal cerebellar foliation, ataxia-like symptoms and young mortality.
For both men and women, whether older or younger, mortality increased as number of health deficits at baseline increased (Figure 2).
As for other Indigenous populations worldwide [ 1], Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians experience significantly poorer health and younger mortality than other Australians [ 2, 3].
Also hanging in the balance these past two weeks was the question: In this staunchly Catholic country – which has declared all abortion illegal since 1998, even in cases of rape, incest or maternal mortality – would this young woman win the right to choose for or against an abortion in the name of her own health and safety?
Although CVD is the major cause of death in patients with type 1 diabetes, it only accounts for approximately half of all deaths, and it is therefore important to study the totality of risk and non-CVD causes of mortality in this young population that is particularly vulnerable to premature death.

Serum urate had no discernible effects on all-cause mortality in this younger sample.
This happened both among the very young (perinatal mortality) and among the very old (80+).
In general, the higher the infant and young child mortality rate, the larger the fraction of mortality attributed to diarrheal diseases.
