VI.A. Baseline life span data

We have had many requests for baseline life span statistics for various mouse strains. Following are life span data for standard inbred laboratory strains and for other strains we have studied in the Harrison Lab.

Commonly used JAX® Mice and crosses (Study 1 and Study 2)
