The GNM showed that residual excess frailty persisted after imposed acute-disease damage was removed. GNM parameters were fit to sex-combined U.S. adult health and mortality statistics above roughly age 20. The main simulation used a Generic Network Model in which health was represented as a scale-free network of binary damaged or undamaged nodes. Death in the GNM occurred when the two most connected network nodes were both damaged. In the GNM, damage and repair were stochastic processes influenced by the fraction of damaged neighboring nodes.
