Thanks for replying.

I'm sorry I haven't got a clue what is "+/- 25-29". Does it mean "25 years old to 29 years old"?

Context:

Muscular dystrophy is a catch-all name for a group of inherited muscle-wasting diseases. Over time, face, arm, leg, spine and heart muscles weaken and wither. Research has traditionally focused on the skeletal muscles, but with increasing life expectancy â now well into the 20s â heart failure has become a major cause of death.
