Descriptive result

Siamese has the higher point estimate in this source table. That does not prove that one individual animal will live longer, remain healthier or cost less than another.

Interpretation

Survival is not the same as healthspan.

The source comparison does not measure mobility, cognition, independence, lifetime veterinary cost or the effect of a supplement. Differences can reflect population composition, health, care and other confounding.
