- The Gompertz law describes an approximately exponential increase in mortality rate with age in humans and many multicellular animals. — Life equations for the senescence process☆
- The proposed equation reproduces Gompertz mortality before the characteristic age delta. — Life equations for the senescence process☆
- For ages at or below delta, the mortality coefficient is equivalent to a Gompertz form with an exponential age term. — Life equations for the senescence process☆
- The Gompertz function fits much adult mortality data but does not explain late-life mortality deceleration or plateaus. — Life equations for the senescence process☆
- The model links Gompertz mortality to the Strehler-Mildvan correlation and the compensation law of mortality. — Life equations for the senescence process☆
