Let be age in years at follow-up time and let indicate the genetic risk factor. An age-dependent log-linear transition intensity model isHere is the onset baseline hazard for a 50-year-old without the factor; is the genetic hazard ratio, and is the hazard ratio per additional year of age. A smooth function of age could replace the linear age term if a constant age hazard ratio were unsuitable.
Under the stated constant multiplicative hazard ratios, the requested extrapolation is therefore the baseline rate times both multipliers:
