Those with more than one long-term illness who skipped more than two consultations a year had a three-fold mortality rise.

Mortality rose 5.6 per cent to 529,655 in 2015 - the biggest annual jump in almost 50 years.

In some species, mortality rose to 90% and breeding success dropped to zero during that time.

Some will be diehard vaccine conspiracy theorists but many will merely think they don't need to bother, given their personal mortality risk.

Prudential has also begun allowing companies to freeze their mortality risk and pay off their buyout over five or ten years, to make the purchase of bulk annuities more afforable.

Also, the unhealthy ones had a 9 per cent lower mortality risk.

They average 1,473 extra daily steps, up 26 per cent on non-players, cutting mortality risk.

The presence of relatively plentiful green space in a neighbourhood correlated with a lower mortality risk.

Natural mortality includes non-human predation, disease and old age.

The equation assumes that fishing and natural mortality occur simultaneously and thus compete with each other.

There are a large number of natural mortality agents which could be responsible for population cycling, including parasitoids, predators, starvation, disease, and severe weather.

This change in currents raises sea surface temperatures, reducing food supplies and so increasing natural mortality.

There are two basic approaches used to estimate natural mortality: tagging studies and growth parameters.

The sum of these two represents the neonatal mortality.

This improvement was mainly due to the decrease in neonatal mortality, from 15.5 to 3.4 per 1000 live births.

An illness severity score and neonatal mortality in retrieved neonates.

Neonatal mortality contributes 40% to under-5 mortality.

Effect of timing of first postnatal care home visit on neonatal mortality: an observational study.

The health of the population has improved, with a fall in overall mortality and an increase in life expectancy, although both continue long-term trends.

In terms of overall mortality, as opposed to that related just to heart disease, it accounted for a negligible difference.

The lowest overall mortality rates were in those eating up to 80g a day.

Overall mortality rates remain high.

Overall mortality from nonviolent causes was about 60% higher in the post-invasion period than in the pre-invasion period.

Hospitals whose staff are in poorer health are less productive and have higher rates of patient mortality and superbug infection.

How choosing a surgeon with the lowest patient mortality rate could be a mistake, because they could just be taking on fewer risky patients.

In many hospitals the establishment of a checklist of actions to be taken before, during and after even simple operations has been found to cut down significantly on patient mortality.

With every new operation, patient mortality dropped by 1 per cent.

With time, societal expectations of low patient mortality have led to hospitals reinstating the patient outcomes as a measure of success.

This could significantly reduce mortality from the disease.

I agree that e-cigarettes are much less harmful than tobacco and will reduce mortality among smokers.

Reducing these particulates and ozone gases could reduce mortality rates in urban areas along with increase the health of those living in cities.

They seem to both speed up the development of the larvae and reduce mortality.

Primary prevention remains the most relevant approach to reduce mortality through a reduction in incidence.

Once you move them, those adaptations may be lost and you may end up with a fairly significant mortality rate.

Nuclear polyhedrosis virus caused significant mortality in some cases.

The optimal dose scheduling of taxanes remains unconfirmed, but most studies find significant mortality benefit following either a three-week or a one-week administration schedule.

Most of these parasites seldom lead to significant mortality among wild or captive elk.

Famines resulting in significant mortality are frequent.

Marine life on panels exposed to the fresher “wet year” water suffered near total mortality.

The total mortality rate was significantly less in the glucan group (0% vs. 29%), with also a decrease in septic morbidity (9.5% vs. 49%).

However, statins reduce cardiovascular disease events and total mortality irrespective of the initial cholesterol concentration.

A 2010 study found that time spent sitting was independently associated with total mortality, regardless of physical activity level.

Total mortality was significantly higher with both encainide and flecainide at a mean follow-up period of ten months.
