Abstract

A discriminant analysis suggests a significant relationship between biographical factors and longevity in male Kansas pioneers. Year of birth, age at marriage, length of marriage, and the number and sex of children are significantly different for those who live significantly longer or die earlier than the average. The individuals who lived longest were born earlier, married younger, were married longer, and had more boys and girls. These variables as predictors were adequate to classify the early settlers into their respective longevity groups.
