A new look at contraceptive prevalence plateaus in sub-Saharan Africa: A probabilistic approach (by Mark Wheldon, Vladimíra Kantorová, Joseph Molitoris, Aisha Dasgupta)
le 02/05/2024 à 10:00
Background: Fertility decline in sub-Saharan Africa has been slower than in other regions, with the periods of extremely slow transitions frequently described as stalled. Lack of investment in family planning programs has been proposed as a key contributing factor. However, while there is a large […]

Standardized mean age at death (MADstd): Exploring its potentials as a measure of human longevity (by Markus Sauerberg, Marc Luy)
le 29/04/2024 à 10:00
Background: Period mean age at death (MAD) is affected by a population’s age structure, and therefore by its mortality, fertility, and migration history. Period life expectancy (e_0) is also a mean age at death, for a standardized population with a stationary age structure. It depends only on […]

The intergenerational transmission of migration capital: The role of family migration history and lived migration experiences (by Aude Bernard, Francisco Perales)
le 25/04/2024 à 10:00
Background: Growing empirical evidence shows that the decision to migrate is influenced by parents’ international migration experiences, with the second generation being more likely to migrate than individuals with no migration background. However, the factors underpinning this […]

Mortality modelling with arrival of additional year of mortality data: Calibration and forecasting (by Kenny Kam Kuen Mok, Chong It Tan, Yanlin Shi, Jinhui Zhang)
le 24/04/2024 à 10:00
Background: For commonly used mortality models, the existing estimates change with the recalibration of new data. This issue is also known as the lack of the new-data-invariant property. Objective: We adapt the Lee–Carter, age-period-cohort, Renshaw–Haberman, and Li–Lee models to […]

The influence of parental cancer on the mental health of children and young adults: Evidence from Norwegian register data on healthcare consultations (by Øystein Kravdal, Jonathan Wörn, Rannveig Hart, Bjørn-Atle Reme)
le 09/04/2024 à 10:00
Objective: The aim was to examine how parental cancer affects the mental health of offspring aged 6–30, and age variations in this effect. Methods: Individual fixed-effects models were estimated from register data covering the entire Norwegian population in 2010–2018. The outcome […]

The importance of education for understanding variability of dementia onset in the United States (by Hyungmin Cha, Chi-Tsun Chiu, Mark D. Hayward, Mateo Farina)
le 08/04/2024 à 10:00
Background: Greater levels of education are associated with lower risk of dementia, but less is known about how education is also associated with the compression of dementia incidence. Objective: We extend the literature on morbidity compression by evaluating whether increased levels of education […]

The importance of correcting for health-related survey non-response when estimating health expectancies: Evidence from The HUNT Study (by Fred Schroyen)
le 04/04/2024 à 10:00
Background: Most studies on health expectancies rely on self-reported health from surveys to measure the prevalence of disabilities or ill health in a population. At best, such studies only correct for sample selection based on a limited number of characteristics observed on the invitees. […]

How lifespan and life years lost equate to unity (by Annette Baudisch, Jose Manuel Aburto)
le 03/04/2024 à 10:00
Background: Life expectancy at birth (e0), life years lost at death (e†), and lifetable entropy (H) are key indicators that capture average lifespan and lifespan variation. Expressions and relationships among these summary measures form the basis to analytically derive a range of formal […]

Age-heterogamous partnerships: Prevalence and partner differences by marital status and gender composition (by Tony Silva, Christine Percheski)
le 02/04/2024 à 10:00
Objective: We examine age heterogamy in the United States and its associations with other partnership characteristics following the nationwide legalization of same-sex marriage in 2015. Methods: We use American Community Survey data for 2017–2021 to examine age gaps in over 3.3 million […]

Subnational contribution to life expectancy and life span variation changes: Evidence from the United States (by Wen Su, Alyson van Raalte, Jose Manuel Aburto, Vladimir Canudas-Romo)
le 27/03/2024 à 11:00
Background: The US life expectancy has been stagnating in recent decades, and along with this, the time trends of life span variation have shown stagnation and even increases with respect to historical levels. Objective: We aim to disentangle contributions from subnational levels (US regions) to […]
