Abstract
Finch and Crimmins (Science, 2004) claim that analysis of Swedish data “reveals strong associations between early-age mortality and subsequent mortality in the same cohorts.” The associations, however, are modest. Period effects have generally been more important than cohort effects. Future trends in life expectancy are unlikely to be slow merely because early-life mortality is now low.File allegati a questo prodotto
