- The gamma-Gompertz model allows population mortality to reflect individual exponential risk increases and selective survival. — The rhythm of aging: Stability and drift in the individual rate of senescence
- Severe shocks can remove frailer individuals disproportionately, leaving more robust survivors at older ages. — The rhythm of aging: Stability and drift in the individual rate of senescence
- Compositional shifts can flatten observed population slopes even when individual aging rates do not change. — The rhythm of aging: Stability and drift in the individual rate of senescence
- The demographic-selection interpretation aligns with frailty theory and mortality deceleration models. — The rhythm of aging: Stability and drift in the individual rate of senescence
