The life table paradox: has Brazil already overcome it?

Ideally, life expectancy should be a decreasing function of age. When this fact is not observed, situation known as the table paradox. This paper investigated timing (and health metrics at time) in which Brazil and its Federation Units (FU) overcame (or are expected to overcome) The data were gathered from Brazilian Institute Geography Statistics contained 3,416 sex-specific abridged tables, 2000 2060. At national level, females males paradox 2016 2018, respectively. However, when FU examined separately, much heterogeneity was observed. Through decomposition analysis change over time difference between birth age one, we found that most have both changes declining total greater than zero. Nevertheless, for some Northeastern states pass positive negative value; two Northern neither nor increasing. In public planning perspective, understand achieving balancing tables goal pursued, especially because having an imbalanced means still strongly influenced by high levels infant mortality. Therefore, knowledge could help planners properly define strategies accelerate process revert unequal scenarios.
