Spinal Cord Injury Life Expectancy Information
The following information was sourced from www.lifeexpectancy.org.
This research group specializes in life expectancy calculations based
on standard actuarial and biostatistical procedures. They apply these
scientific methods to data on those who have suffered spinal cord (SCI)
) injuries. They have published extensively on life expectancy, and consulted
on life expectancy in Canada, England, Australia and the United States.
