Frailty modelling for adult and old age mortality: the application of a modified DeMoivre hazard function to sex differentials in mortality.
Unobserved differences in individual's susceptibility to death are an important aspect in the analysis of contemporary mortality patterns. However, observed mortality rates at adult ages, which are usually well described by a Gompertz curve, are often perceived inconsistent with frailty models of mortality. The authors therefore propose a modified DeMoivre hazard function that is suitable for...

متن کاملOld age mortality and macroeconomic cycles.
BACKGROUND As mortality is more and more concentrated at old age, it becomes critical to identify the determinants of old age mortality. It has counter-intuitively been found that mortality rates at all ages are higher during short-term increases in economic growth. Work-stress is found to be a contributing factor to this association, but cannot explain the association for the older, retired po...
متن کاملOdor identification and mortality in old age.
The association of olfactory dysfunction with mortality was examined in 1162 older persons without dementia or Parkinson's disease. They completed a standard 12-item test of odor identification and then were followed for a mean of 4.2 years (standard deviation [SD] = 2.6, range: 0-9) during which 321 individuals died (27.6%). The relation of olfactory score to risk of death was assessed in a se...

The sparse data available on the relation be tween perceived age and survival indi cate an inverse association.' It is not known whether "looking old for your age" is primarily a result of lifestyle a...
