KEY FINDINGS The Hispanic population in the United States has lower overall mortality and higher life expectancy at birth than the non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black populations. The expectation has been that the Hispanic population should exhibit a mortality profile that is similar to that of the non-Hispanic black population, not one that is advantaged relative to the non-Hispanic whit...

My laboratory has previously shown that the sex differences in tumor incidence in Europe can be related to the female social condition and that the pattern of this relationship varies according to the different historical contexts. In this article, I have extended the study worldwide to all cancer registries, and I present the sex differences in life expectancy at birth. A close link between th...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of avoidable mortality on the changes in life expectancy at birth in Spain. METHODS Standard life table techniques and the Arriaga method were used to calculate and to decompose life expectancy (LE) changes by age, effects and groups of causes of avoidable mortality among three periods (1987-91, 1992-6 and 1997-2001). A list of causes of avoidable mortality re...

This article extends research on the consequences of mass imprisonment and the factors shaping population health and health inequalities by considering the associations between imprisonment and population health-measured as life expectancy at birth and the infant mortality rate-and black-white differences in population health using state-level panel data from the United States (N=669), 1980-200...

The life expectancy of older Americans has increased dramatically in recent decades – increasing at birth from forty-seven years in 1900 to approximately 76 years today (See Appendix 1). The first phase of this improvement in life expectancy resulted from a reduction in infant mortality and childhood death rates. The second phase of increasing life expectancy has occurred more recently, and inv...

STUDY OBJECTIVE This study aimed to describe the relationship between health and socioeconomic indicators in the 38 neighbourhoods of the city of Barcelona, Spain. DESIGN Mortality data for 1983-89 and socioeconomic data for each of the 38 neighbourhoods of Barcelona were used. Mortality indicators used were the comparative mortality figure, the ratio of potential years of life lost, and life...

Introduction: The objective of this study was to investigate whether morbidity in Canada, at the national and provincial levels, is compressing or expanding by tracking trends in life expectancy (LE) and health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) from 1994 to 2010. “Compression” refers to a decrease in the proportion of life spent in an unhealthy state over time. It happens when HALE increases fast...
