Labour Market Status at Ages 50–64 and All-Cause Mortality at Ages 65–70

Heat waves and cause-specific mortality at all ages.

BACKGROUND Mortality has been shown to increase with extremely hot ambient temperatures. Details on the specific cause of mortality can be useful for improving preventive policies. Infants are often identified as a population that is vulnerable to extreme heat conditions; however, information on heat and infant mortality is scarce, with no studies reporting on cause-specific mortality. METHOD...

Cause-specific mortality at young ages: lessons from Finland.

This paper analyses cause-specific mortality in ages 15-30 years in Finland, using longitudinal population register data that covers the period 1970-2004. The aim is to see how mortality risks interrelate with living conditions in the parental home and with regional confounders, in order to understand why the two native population groups of the country differ in mortality. Results based on Cox ...

Submucous cleft palate: Therapeutic needs at different ages

Introduction: Decision making about surgery in patients with submucous cleft palate (SMCP) is usually postponed until speech assessment is applicable. Therefore, these patients spend more years with disorders associated with cleft. This study was aimed to investigate and compare the prevalence of different communication disorders in patients with unrepaired SMCP at different ages, since this in...

On ordered subpopulations and population mortality at advanced ages.

We consider hazard (mortality) rates in heterogeneous populations consisting of ordered (in the defined stochastic sense) subpopulations. This setting can be interpreted via the fixed frailty models with one or more frailty parameters. The shape of the hazard rate is of main interest in this paper. Specifically, the deceleration and leveling off in the hazard rates (mortality plateaus) are disc...
