  • NA, not applicable.

  • 5-150 Age was transformed to age 70.

  • 5-151 Gomp+Mak, Gompertz-Makeham.

  • 5-152 For women the p value for the Makeham constant was 0.015 (that is, larger than the significance level of 0.01). To obtain models of the same type for men and women we kept this constant for women as well.
