Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival functions for females (a) and males (b) having “variability” of different physiological indices (the mean of absolute values of residuals, i.e., deviations of observed values of an index from those approximated by two linear functions at respective age intervals, see Section 2) from the lower and upper halves of empirical distributions of this risk factor for respective indices; P denotes P value for the null hypotheses about the equality of the survival curves in the strata evaluated by the log-rank test.
