Figure 5
Mortality rate ratios (MRR) from the heart model are shown by breed1, age and gender (F-female, M-male) for a few selected breeds, as well as for the baseline. The data are on dogs with life insurance at Agria2 during years 1995 to 2000. The MRR are derived using the estimates in table 3. For example, the MRR for female Cavalier King Charles spaniel (CKC) at age category 9 < 10 is constructed taking the exponent of (the breed estimate + the gender estimate + (the age estimate × 9) + (the age-breed estimate × 9)). 1CKC- Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Irish wh- Irish wolfhound 2Agria Insurance, PO 70306, SE-107 23 Stockholm, Sweden 3BL- baseline- all breeds not included in the model
