EARLY PREDICTORS OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY AT LATER AGES

最近的调查发现了具有统计意义的证据 社会经济状况和生物医学状况(包括 营养状况)和儿童死亡率 动脉硬化症等中老年疾病。的目的是 项目2是确定和阐明这些生命周期的相互作用 联邦军队的退伍军人。广泛的分析技术，包括 危险模型(不限于比例危险模型)，Waaler 表面，包含未观察到的异质性的模型将是 用来描述社会经济、生物和心理形式的 早年的压力对等待的时间和概率 最终发展成特定的慢性疾病以及时间 死于这些疾病之后。

Recent investigations have found evidence of statistically significant relationships between socioeconomic and biomedical conditions (including nutritional status) of individuals at early ages and mortality rates from arteriosclerotic and other diseases at middle and late ages. The aim of Project 2 is to identify and articulate such life-cycle interactions among the Union Army veterans. A wide array of analytical techniques including hazards models (not limited to proportional hazards models), Waaler surfaces, and models which incorporate unobserved heterogeneity will be employed to relate socioeconomic, biological, and psychological forms of stress at early ages to the waiting -time for, and the probability of eventually developing, specific chronic diseases as well as the time to death following these diseases.
