Hypothetical scenarios of the age-at-death distributions of two equal-sized (Panels A and B) population’s subgroups. Note: The annotations on the graphs include: life expectancy at birth (\(e_0\)), lifespan variation (measured by the standard deviation of the ages-at-death, \(\sigma\)), ratio in life expectancy at birth between both distributions (ratio \(e_0\)), ratio in standard deviation of the ages-at-death between both distributions (ratio \(\sigma\)) and pairwise non-overlap index (\(S^P\)).
