- The Gompertz slope represents how quickly mortality risk accelerates with age. — The rhythm of aging: Stability and drift in the individual rate of senescence
- The study uses the Gompertz slope as a proxy for individual aging rather than as a direct biological measure. — The rhythm of aging: Stability and drift in the individual rate of senescence
- Baseline Gompertz slope estimates clustered narrowly across the studied countries and sexes. — The rhythm of aging: Stability and drift in the individual rate of senescence
- Lower starting ages produced lower Gompertz slope estimates because younger adult mortality includes non-senescent causes. — The rhythm of aging: Stability and drift in the individual rate of senescence
- Female estimates of the Gompertz slope were often slightly higher than male estimates, but the difference was modest and inconsistent. — The rhythm of aging: Stability and drift in the individual rate of senescence
