In contrast to many survival models such as proportional hazard rates and proportional mean residual lives, the proportional vitalities model has also been introduced in the literature. In this paper, further stochastic ordering properties of a dynamic version of the model with a random vitality growth parameter are investigated. Examples are presented to illustrate different established properties of the model. Potentials for inference about the parameters in proportional vitalities model with possibly time-varying effects are also argued and discussed.

Advancements in veterinary medicine have resulted in increased life spans for dogs, necessitating a better understanding of quality of life for older dogs. This study aimed to evaluate quality of life (QoL) progression and its potential association with mortality in senior and geriatric dogs. The Canine Owner-Reported Quality of Life Questionnaire (CORQ), consisting of 17 questions across four domains (vitality, companionship, pain, and mobility) was employed.

Ammonium (NH) plays a crucial role in the reproductive processes of key biotic groups in aquatic ecosystems-bivalves. This study aims to elucidate the effects of three different ammonium ion concentrations on sperm vitality, swimming kinematics, and morphology of , , and . The results indicate that the sperm vitality and motility rates of and are inversely proportional to the ammonium concentration, especially in the treatment group with an ammonium concentration of 3 mmol/L, where the decrease in sperm vitality and motility is most significant.

Background: Intrinsic capacity reflects an individual's functions and capacities across their lifetime. There are few studies on whether the level of intrinsic capacity can predict long-term mortality in Chinese populations.
Objective: To explore the effects of intrinsic capacity on long-term outcomes in older Chinese adults.

- The GBD 2021 study aims to quantify the health impacts of 88 risk factors across 204 countries from 1990 to 2021, helping to inform public health policies.
- The analysis utilized over 54,000 data sources to assess 631 risk-outcome pairs, determining how specific risk factors contribute to various health issues.
- By calculating relative risks and population attributable fractions, the study provides insights into the disease burden tied to each risk factor, measured in disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs).
