Note:

The “early” time period is 1975–2000 for AZA and 1980–2000 for Japan, the “recent” period is 2001–2020 for both. Analyses were performed using only mortalities that occurred on or after the first birthdate. Bolded coefficient estimates highlight the effects that were significant at p < 0.05.
