The Gompertz–Makeham law of mortality is a mathematical model used to describe the age-specific mortality rates, particularly in humans and other organisms. It combines two components: the Gompertz function, which accounts for the increasing mortality risk due to aging, and a constant term that represents the background or external risk of death that does not depend on age.
