Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
An elderly cohort has been submitted to a five-year mortality follow-up in order to evaluate the relationship between environment, social and health conditions and survival probability. Particular attention has been directed to disability measure proposed by OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development). An extension of Cox multiple regression model has been used. Results show that the social and living conditions are not associated with survival probability. On the contrary, disability is a strong determinant of mortality risk and subjective health status is a modifier of its effect. Following disability level is an indicator of long-term health status and health services needs.
