Expected survival

Nobody knows exactly how long a person will live. Factors affecting survival include:

• Current age
• Overall health and other health problems (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, obesity)
• Lifestyle (e.g., diet, activity levels)
• Kidney function

Using the data from the Renal Registry in Singapore, it is possible to estimate how long patients at certain ages with certain conditions may live under different treatment options.
