Female (dotted) and male (solid) probability curves for individuals with DISH, estimated from an American mortality sample through empirical smoothing. Male frequencies increase with advancing age. The female curve, with a peak around 60 years, indicates that women with early-onset DISH experience a relatively high risk of dying around that age.
