EARLY PREDICTORS OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY AT LATER AGES

最近的调查发现， 社会经济和生物医学条件之间的关系（包括 营养状况）以及 动脉硬化等疾病。 的目的 项目2是确定和阐明这些生命周期的相互作用， 联邦军老兵 广泛的分析技术，包括 风险模型（不限于比例风险模型），Waaler 表面和模型，其中包括未观察到的异质性将是 用于将社会经济、生物和心理形式的 压力在早期年龄的等待时间，和概率 最终发展为特定慢性疾病以及治疗的时间 死于这些疾病。

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.
