Health Econ. 21(4) (2000) 659) has found robust and consistent evidence that the total mortality rate, age-specific mortality rates as well as most specific mortality causes are pro-cyclical. His finding that high unemployment rates are associated with lower mortality and vice versa stands in stark contra...

Unemployment effects on general mortality, sex-specific mor...
متن کاملLower mortality rates in those living at moderate altitude
(up to about 2000 m) were shown to have lower mortality from coronary artery disease (CAD) and stroke (-22% and-12% per 1000 m) [1] and an about 50% lower risk of dying from Alzheimer's disease compared with their counterparts living at lower altitudes [2]. In contrast, reported altitude effects on cancer mortality are still conflicting [3]. However, due to shared risk factors, e.g. obesity and...
متن کاملWhy Recessions Good for your Health? Understanding Procyclical Mortality
A growing literature has established a link between mortality and the business cycle and documented robust countercyclical movements in health in the United States and elsewhere. We examine these findings more closely and attempt to identify mechanisms that may be driving this connection. Specifically we examine the link between mortality from different causes and in different age ranges over t...
