General functions for human survival and mortality | | Byung Mook Weon
; | | Date: |
7 Feb 2004 | | Subject: | Populations and Evolution | q-bio.PE | | Abstract: | General functions for human survival and mortality may support a possibility of general mechanisms in human ageing. We discovered that the survival and mortality curves could be described very simply and accurately by the Weibull survival function with age-dependent shape parameter. The age-dependence of shape parameter determines the shape of the survival and mortality curves and tells the nature of the ageing rate. Especially, the progression of shape parameter with age may be explained by the increase of interaction among vital processes or the evolution of susceptibility to faults with age. Age-related diseases may be attributed to the evolution of susceptibility to faults with age. | | Source: | arXiv, q-bio.PE/0402013 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
