...Joseph T. Lariscy; Claudia Nau; Glenn Firebaugh; Robert A. Hummer Abstract This study is the first to investigate whether and, if so, why Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites in the United States differ in the variability of their lifespans. Although Hispanics enjoy higher life expectancy than whites...

...Dustin C. Brown; Joseph T. Lariscy; Benjamin H. Walker Abstract State-level disparities in life expectancy are wide, persistent, and potentially growing in the United States. However, the extent to which differences in lifespan variability by state have changed over time is unclear. This research...

... mortality. Our approach is to reformulate the problem of lifespan variability in terms of an absorbing Markov chain, and to use methods from matrix calculus (Caswell 2008 , 2009 , 2010 ). We will show how to use the results to decompose differences among populations or over time into contributions from...

...Glenn Firebaugh; Francesco Acciai; Aggie J. Noah; Christopher Prather; Claudia Nau Abstract Lifespans are both shorter and more variable for blacks than for whites in the United States. Because their lifespans are more variable, there is greater inequality in length of life—and thus greater...

... age groups are less negatively selected than younger age groups. We could thus expect a greater concentration of mortality at younger ages among people with a high school education or less, which would be reflected in increasing lifespan variability for this group. Future studies of educational...

Nevertheless, the diverging trends in longevity and lifespan inequality across education groups represent an important phenomenon whose underlying causes and potential implications should...

The validation of mortality forecasts for Italy, Japan, and Denmark demonstrates that their predictive performance can be evaluated more comprehensively by analyzing both the average lifespan and lifespan disparity—that is, by jointly...

... pattern of mortality change was very different from that observed in Western countries (Meslé 2004 ). Given that the largest deviations in age-specific mortality occurred over working ages (Rehm et al. 2007 ), it is a priori unclear what the net effect would be on variability. We analyzed how lifespan...

Increasing levels of lifespan inequality could be indicative of an inequitable state of affairs whereby the benefits of longer lives are enjoyed by certain population...

The recent variability of this relationship, we show, results from the very different responses of life expectancy and lifespan inequality to age-specific mortality change. First, we show that in Sweden, the threshold...

Increasingly, however, more attention is being paid to the variability in the age at death, also known as lifespan variation. At the population level, lifespan...
