Differential patterns of age-related mortality increase in middle age and old age.
It is often assumed that aging is a uniform process throughout adulthood because of the approximately linear increase of logarithmic mortality. We explored this assumption by analyzing cause-specific mortality increases in France (1979-1994). Rising rapidly at ages 30-54 years ("middle age") are death rates from malignant neoplasms at various sites, acute myocardial infarction, hypertensive dis...
متن کاملRelation between trends in late middle age mortality and trends in old age mortality--is there evidence for mortality selection?
STUDY OBJECTIVE To test whether mortality selection was a dominant factor in determining trends in old age mortality, by empirically studying the existence of a negative correlation between trends in late middle age mortality and trends in old age mortality among the same cohorts. DESIGN AND METHODS A cohort approach was applied to period data on total and cause specific mortality for Denmark...
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...
متن کاملPatterns of mortality in middle and early old age in the county boroughs of England and Wales.
It is common knowledge that death rates vary from area to area, year to year, and between different groups of the population. These differences have been extensively studied but, very often, only in relation to a particular cause of death or a particular feature of the environment-the association of bronchitis with air pollution, for example, or population density with respiratory death rates. ...
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...
