Figure 1

Animal survival rates in the 18 and 24 month old age groups, expressed as a percentage of live animals for each group. Female BALB/c mice purchased at 9 months of age were assigned to the 18 month old group (n = 20) and 24 month old group (n = 24). Animal survival declined from approximately 14 months of age in both groups and continued to decline thereafter. A 60% decline in animal survival was observed in the 18 month old group (18 m/o), while a 50% decline in survival rate was observed the 24 month old group (24 m/o).
