How to generate estimated probability of surviving beyond age t given survival to age 65

[JWH1]

Hi,

I have a dataset of pensioners that is left-truncated and right-censored. I would like to compare (for males vs females) the estimated probability of surviving to e.g. age 70  conditioned on surviving to age 65. I also have a variable indicating last known annual pension amount that I'd like to use to adjust for socioeconomic status. The dataset includes pensioners alive as of 1/1/2010 and mortality was assessed during the period 2010-2016.

1944 1979 2010 79000 0 66 1
1918 1947 2010 36100 1 92 1

Would appreciate any suggestions..

Look up SAS examples for PROC LIFETEST.  I believe it will  nicely provide the hazards you are asking for.

thank you...I don't believe I can use PROC LIFETEST for left-truncated data.

Am I correct in assuming that "conditioned on surviving to age 65" is what you mean by left-censored?

If so then "the estimated probability of surviving to e.g. age 70  conditioned on surviving to age 65" is, iirc, is the very definition of the 5-year hazard rate (or actually 1 minus the 5-year hazard rate) for 65 to 70 period, which I'm guessing can be produced by LIFETEST.  And even if LIFETEST doesn't produce something literally called hazard-rate, isn't what you want equivalent to the probability of surviving to 70 divided by the probability of surviving to 65?  Those values would certainly be generated by LIFETEST, no?

It's been a long time since I was exposed to survival analysis, so I admit to being a bit insecure about these statements.
