Search for an unitary mortality law through a theoretical model for biological ageing

TL;DR

This paper investigates the Azbel mortality assumption using a theoretical bit string model for biological aging, successfully reproducing the linear relationship between model parameters and demographic data.

Contribution

It introduces a bit string model that confirms the Azbel assumption of mortality, linking theoretical predictions with empirical demographic observations.

Findings

Reproduced the linear relationship between mortality parameters and demographic data.

Validated the Azbel assumption within a theoretical aging model.

Abstract

In this work we check the occurrence of the Azbel assumption of mortality within the framework of a bit string model for biological ageing. We reproduced the observed feature of linear correspondence between the fitting parameters of the death rate as obtained by Azbel with demographic data.
