Persistent Differences in Mortality Patterns across Industrialized Countries
The epidemiological transition has provided the theoretical background for the expectation of convergence in mortality patterns. We formally test and reject the convergence hypothesis for a sample of industrialized countries in the period from 1960 to 2008. After a period of convergence in the decade of 1960 there followed a sustained process of divergence with a pronounced increase at the end ...
متن کاملInequality in Life Spans and Mortality Convergence Across Industrialized Countries
The second half of the twentieth century witnessed much convergence in life expectancy around the world. Closer inspection of mortality trends in advanced countries reveals that inequality in adult life spans, which we measure with the standard deviation of ages at death above age 10, S10, is increasingly responsible for the remaining divergence in mortality. We report striking differences in l...
متن کاملInequality in Life Spans and a New Perspective on Mortality Convergence Across Industrialized Countries
The second half of the twentieth century witnessed much convergence in life expectancy around the world. We examine differences in the age pattern of mortality between countries over time to show that inequality in adult life spans, which we measure with the standard deviation of life table ages at death above age 10, S10, is increasingly responsible for the remaining divergence in mortality. W...
متن کاملThe size of mortality differences associated with educational level in nine industrialized countries.

METHODS Data on mortality by educational level were obtained from longitudinal studies from nine industrialized countries. The data referred to men between 35 and 64 years of age. The follow-up periods occurred between 1970 and 1982. The size of mort...
متن کاملIodine deficiency in industrialized countries.
The recent report of poor iodine status in the UK is a wake-up call to health authorities in industrialized countries who have been slow to grasp that iodine deficiency (ID) is not confined to developing countries. Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Norway and now the UK are all mildly iodine deficient. In the US, iodine intakes have fallen, and it is uncertain whether status is adequate in pregn...
