A unified framework links infant vulnerability with aging-related mortality dynamics

2026-05-08

Abstract excerpt

A central question in Geroscience is whether early-life mortality, which declines from birth to sexual maturity, and late-life mortality, which grows exponentially in time, can be understood within a shared conceptual framework. We show that stochastic threshold models can explain both phases by incorporating heterogeneity in neonatal vulnerability. Using U.S. National Center for Health Statistics data, we find th...
