Aging, Terminal Decline, and Terminal Drop

Palmore, Erdman; Cleveland, William

Journal of Gerontology, 31, 1, 76-81, Jan 76

Data from a 20-year longitudinal study of persons over 60 were analyzed by step-wise multiple regression to test for declines in function with age, for terminal decline (linear relationship to time before death), and for terminal drop (curvilinear relationship to time before death). There were no substantial terminal drop effects. (Author)
