Abstract

The aim of the present study was to develop the first life tables for the dog population of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires by constructing life expectancy tables. Data on canines received for final disposal at the Luis Pasteur Zoonosis Institute of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires from January 2018 to December 2021 were used to prepare the life tables. Of the 11,429 dogs that died in that period, the overall life expectancy at birth was 11.88 years (95% CI = 11.37–12.39). There was no difference in life expectancy at birth by sex or by pure versus cross breeds. According to neuter status, life expectancy at birth in neutered (13.98 years) was significantly higher than in entire (11.46 years) (p-value = 0.00001). Life tables varied according to the breed studied, with the Pekingese having the highest life expectancy at birth 16.42 years (95% CI: 15.87–16.98), and the Pit bull having the lowest life expectancy at birth 10.13 years (95% CI: 9.58–10.68). The current study provides useful information for veterinary professionals and pet owners and is a valuable tool for planning and developing effective health policies.

布宜诺斯艾利斯市狗的预期寿命

本研究旨在通过构建预期寿命表，为布宜诺斯艾利斯自治市的犬类群体编制第一份寿命表。布宜诺斯艾利斯自治市路易斯-巴斯德人畜共患病研究所从 2018 年 1 月至 2021 年 12 月接收的犬类最终处置数据被用于编制寿命表。在此期间死亡的11429只狗中，出生时的总体预期寿命为11.88岁（95% CI = 11.37-12.39）。不同性别或纯种与杂交品种的狗出生时预期寿命没有差异。根据绝育情况，绝育后（13.98 岁）的出生时预期寿命明显高于完全绝育（11.46 岁）（P 值 = 0.00001）。生命表因研究的犬种而异，北京犬出生时的预期寿命最高，为 16.42 岁（95% CI：15.87-16.98），比特犬出生时的预期寿命最低，为 10.13 岁（95% CI：9.58-10.68）。本研究为兽医专业人员和宠物主人提供了有用的信息，是规划和制定有效卫生政策的宝贵工具。

期刊介绍： Research in Veterinary Science is an International multi-disciplinary journal publishing original articles, reviews and short communications of a high scientific and ethical standard in all aspects of veterinary and biomedical research. The primary aim of the journal is to inform veterinary and biomedical scientists of significant advances in veterinary and related research through prompt publication and dissemination. Secondly, the journal aims to provide a general multi-disciplinary forum for discussion and debate of news and issues concerning veterinary science. Thirdly, to promote the dissemination of knowledge to a broader range of professions, globally. High quality papers on all species of animals are considered, particularly those considered to be of high scientific importance and originality, and with interdisciplinary interest. The journal encourages papers providing results that have clear implications for understanding disease pathogenesis and for the development of control measures or treatments, as well as those dealing with a comparative biomedical approach, which represents a substantial improvement to animal and human health. Studies without a robust scientific hypothesis or that are preliminary, or of weak originality, as well as negative results, are not appropriate for the journal. Furthermore, observational approaches, case studies or field reports lacking an advancement in general knowledge do not fall within the scope of the journal.
