Figures & data
Notes: The dashed line indicates a relative risk of 1.0. The means and 95% confidence limits of relative mortality (medium follow-up of 12 years) are shown for groups of subjects with the mean serum albumin concentrations listed.

Notes: The solid line is the expected relationship if clearance is proportional to serum albumin. Data from references 33–36.
Note: The heavy dashed line is the lower limit of normal (lowest 2.5% of values) and the short dashed line is the average value observed in a group of 50- to 69-year-old life insurance applicants.
