Number of mice | 41 | 43 | 38 | 39 |
Median life expectancy | 903 | 1127 | 1181 | 1188 |
Increase in median life expectancy | Ref. | 25% | 31% | 32% |
Maximal life expectancy | 1275 | 1395 | 1379 | 1462 |
Increase in maximal life expectancy | Ref. | 9% | 8% | 15% |
Population B | ||||
Number of mice | 108 | 105 | 97 | 102 |
Median life expectancy | 634 | 794 | 931 | 1056 |
Increase in median life expectancy | Ref. | 25% | 47% | 67% |
Maximal life expectancy | 1171 | 1307 | 1308 | 1537 |

Median and maximal life expectancies are given in days. Increases in median and maximal life expectancies are given relative to the mice not subjected to caloric restriction or disruption of growth hormone signaling (Ref.).
