Expectation of life at old age: revisiting Horiuchi-Coale and reconciling with Mitra
Data quality issues at advanced old age, such as incompleteness of registration of vital events and age misreporting, compromise estimates of the death rates and remaining life expectancy at those ages. Following up on Horiuchi and Coale (Population Studies 36: 317-326, 1982), Mitra (Population Studies 38: 313-319, 1984, Population Studies 39: 511-512, 1985), and Coale (Population Studies 39: 5...
متن کاملConstrained Mortality Extrapolation to Old Age: An Empirical Assessment
This paper aims to improve the accuracy of parametric extrapolations of the death rates into old age by constraining the extrapolation model on presumed life expectancy at old age. Such a task is particularly important in cases where the data quality at old age, in particular the age exaggeration, is not sufficient for reliable mortality estimates. Our tests are based on period data from the Hu...
متن کاملDelivery of the second twin: revisiting the age-old dilemma.
T is general consensus that cesarean delivery is the optimal mode of delivery for women with a nonvertex-presenting twin and that a trial of labor is reasonable in women with vertex–vertex twins. However, the management of twin pregnancies complicated by a nonvertex second twin remains controversial. With the rise in the twin birth rate, obstetricians are faced with this clinical situation with...
متن کاملWisdom and life satisfaction in old age.
According to previous research findings, objective life conditions such as physical health, socioeconomic status, financial situation, the physical environment, and social involvement cannot fully explain the well-being of older persons. Instead, personality characteristics and developmental influences appear to have a stronger impact. This study combines personality and individual development ...
متن کاملLife Expectancy and Old Age Savings
Rich people, women, and healthy people live longer. We document that this heterogeneity in life expectancy is large, and we use an estimated structural model to assess its effect on the elderly’s saving. We find that the differences in life expectancy related to observable factors such as income, gender, and health have large effects on savings, and that these factors contribute by similar amou...
