The future of mortality at older ages in developed countries

Abstract

The authors note that most deaths in developed countries occur at older ages future trends in death rates at older ages are particularly uncertain and alternative trends have very different demographic implications.... They therefore review the reasons for the uncertainty surrounding the future of death rates at older ages and then present some new evidence based on Swedish data. They conclude that the Swedish example suggests that it is possible to reduce death rates significantly after age 80. (EXCERPT)
