Add to ORKGPapers published in the OPR Working Paper Series reflect the view of individual authors. They may not be cited in other publications, but are intended to be work-in-progress. Comments are welcome. Background: Few studies focus on “preclinical ” warning signs associated with mortality. In this paper, we investigate associations between all-cause mortality and two clusters of biological risk factors: 1) standard clinical measures related to cardiovascular disease and metabolic function; and 2) nontraditional measures pertaining to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity, sympathetic nervous system activity and inflammatory response. Methods: Data come from the 2000 Social Environment and Biomarkers of Aging Study, a national sample of T...
