    This study introduces a new three-subgroup model for total lifespan survival curves, improving geriatric survival analysis. The model accurately describes lifespan and offers biologically interpretable parameters.

    Area of Science:

    • Biostatistics
    • Gerontology
    • Demography

    Background:

    • Accurate modeling of total lifespan survival curves is crucial, especially for understanding geriatric survival.
    • Existing models may not fully capture the complexities of survival across the entire lifespan, particularly in later life.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel mixture model for total lifespan survival.
    • To specifically enhance the modeling of survival in geriatric populations.
    • To ensure model parameters possess biological interpretability.

    Main Methods:

    • A standard mixture model approach was employed.
    • The model incorporates three distinct survival distribution subgroups: neonatal deaths, standard Gompertzian-like survival, and geriatric survival.
