Background: A number of studies have examined the influence of life conditions in infancy (and pregnancy) on mortality risks in adulthood or old age. For those individuals who survived difficult life ...
An empirical analysis of the importance of controlling for unobserved heterogeneity when estimating the income-mortality gradient
income mortality proportional hazard model unobserved heterogeneity
2014/11/27
Background: Statistical theory predicts that failing to control for unobserved heterogeneity in a Gompertz mortality risk model attenuates the estimated income-mortality gradient toward zero.Objective...

Gompertz-Makeham mortality life table entropy
2014/11/26
Background: Life table entropy is a quantity frequently used in demography; e.g., as a measure of heterogeneity in age at death, or as the elasticity of life expectancy with regards to proportional ch...

A modified new method for estimating smoking-attributable mortality in high-income countries
life expectancy mortality smoking
2010/8/25
Preston, Glei, and Wilmoth (2010) recently proposed an innovative regression-based method to estimate smoking-attributable mortality in developed countries based on observed lung cancer death rates. T...
Life expectancy is the death-weighted average of the reciprocal of the survival-specific force of mortality
age-structured population force of mortality Jensen´ s inequality life expectancy life table longevity negative exponential distribution survival USA
2010/1/29
The hazard of mortality is usually presented as a function of age, but can be defined as a function of the fraction of survivors. This definition enables us to derive new relationships for life expect...
