Study Snapshot
Key takeawayThis study establishes a model for predicting the service life of natural stone wall claddings, using visual inspections and a numerical index of degradation severity (Sw,rp), to estimate a reference service life for this type of cladding.
PopulationOlder adults (50-71 years)
Sample size24
MethodsObservational
OutcomesBody Mass Index projections
ResultsSocial networks mitigate obesity in older groups.

Estimating the Service Life of Exterior Stone Claddings Subjected to Regular and Marine Service Conditions
Dry-fixed stone claddings have a shorter service life than wet-fixed ones in both normal and marine environments, with the fixing method significantly impacting the deterioration rate and long-term durability.
