*Outcomes: Life Expectancy, Number of deaths, 5-year mortality risk

Calculations

Using MPoRT you are able to calculate:

• For each individual (By row)

  • 5 year mortality risk
  • Life Expectancy

• For the population (Summary)

  • Number of deaths
  • Life Expectancy
  • Health behaviour-deleted life expectancy
  • Health behaviour-deleted number of deaths
  • Health behaviour attributable life expectancy
  • Health behaviour attributable number of deaths

Types of Questions

• What is the burden of smoking on life expectancy?
• How many deaths would be prevented if everyone met their daily exercise requirements?
