tantrums and low frustration tolerance relative to peers, is a transdiagnostic symptom across …

The careful monitoring of longevity risk has a pivotal role in many fields such as the
economy, demography, and social sciences. Despite the life expectancy at birth has …

In many low-mortality countries, life expectancy at birth increased steadily over the last
century. In particular, both Italian females and males benefited from faster improvements in …

We introduce a method for decomposing differences in healthy cross-sectional average
length of life (HCAL). HCAL provides an alternative to the health expectancy (HE) indicator …

BACKGROUND Indicators of lifespan inequality, such as the life table entropy or variance of
age at death, provide a measure of inequality in the timing of death. A range of indicators of …

An empirical question that has motivated demographers is whether there is convergence or
divergence in mortality/longevity around the world. The epidemiological transition is the …

In addition to fundamental mortality metrics such as mortality rates and mortality rate ratios,
life expectancy is also commonly used to investigate excess mortality among a group of …

Aims: Mortality associated with mental disorders has been estimated using metrics such as
mortality rate ratios and life expectancy. However, the variation around the average life …

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 …

Much less is known about the sex gap in lifespan variation, which reflects inequalities in the
length of life, than about the sex gap in life expectancy (average length of life). We examined …
