Table 1:

Parameters for the four-fiber family constitutive model describing the isochoric response of human FPAs in 7 age groups. Parameters represent the average FPA within each age group and are adjusted for the effects of flattening. Here n is the sample size in each age group that was used to derive these parameters. The coefficient of determination R2=0.99 for all age groups.
