(a-b) Time behavior of the frailty index for the males’ and females’ subgroups of the deceased (SL: short-dashed line; LLD: dashed line) and living (LLA: solid line) individuals who participated in early surveys (1984–1994 for LLA and LLD and 1984–1989 for SL; denoted by filled symbols) and later surveys (1989–1999 for LLA and LLD and 1989–1994 for SL; denoted by open symbols). Bars show 95% confidence intervals. (c-d) The same as in (ab) but only for the early surveys and 10-year age groups (shown in the figures along with sample sizes) as defined on April 1, 1984.
