The aims of this study are to estimate the rate of ageing for individuals, and to analyse changes in the shape of the age distribution of death. Adult and old-age mortality data for Sweden and Japan, in the second half of the 20th century, are analysed taking into account the selection effects and following a semi-parametric approach, by smoothing mortality trajectories for individuals with penalized B-splines.
