Published: 01 February 2001
...Scott M. Lynch; J. Scott Brown Abstract In this research we develop a model of mortality rates that parameterizes mortality deceleration and compression, permits hypothesis tests for change in these parameters over time, and allows for formal gender comparisons. Our model fits mortality data well...

...Dustin C. Brown; Mark D. Hayward; Jennifer Karas Montez; Robert A. Hummer; Chi-Tsun Chiu; Mira M. Hidajat Abstract Recent studies of old-age mortality trends assess whether longevity improvements over time are linked to increasing compression of mortality at advanced ages. The historical backdrop...

Our framework determines whether changes of the deaths curve over time show elements of extension or contraction; compression or decompression; left- or right-shifting mortality; and concentration or diffusion. The framework...

The manual class’s high and stagnant lifespan variation was driven by declines in circulatory diseases that were equally spread over early mortality-compressing and older mortality-expanding ages, as well as by high early-adult...

This is related to excess mortality at ages under 65 from various causes in the United States. Regression on 17 country...
