“You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby”
We analyze lung cancer mortality by age and sex in the United States, 1959-2013. It is already known that male lung cancer death rates exceed those of women and that tobacco use is the leading reason for the sex difference. We elaborate on this knowledge by showing that unlike most causes of death, lung cancer mortality patterns by age are a very good fit to a quadratic-Gompertz model, i.e., log mortality rates are quadratic by age, with the mode…
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
In temperate climates, mortality is seasonal with a winter-dominant pattern, due in part to specific causes of death, including pneumonia, influenza, and cold-induced thrombosis. Cardiac causes, which are the leading cause of death in the United States, ar

Clostridium difficileInfection
Enterocolitis due to Clostridium difficile is major emerging cause of death in the U.S. Between 1999 and 2012, C. diff. deaths rose by a staggering almost ten-fold amount, to 7,739 from 793. This article has three goals. First, we present a demographic description of C. diff. mortality in the U.S. since 1999. Second, we test a hypothesis that the increase in C. diff. deaths is due to population aging. We find that the emergence of this cause of d…
Divergence without decoupling
Divergence of male and female life expectancy is a well-documented phenomenon. Comovement is a heretofore-neglected aspect of changes in male and female mortality
Life Expectancy during the Great Depression in Eleven European Countries
The recent global economic recession has renewed interest in knowing whether a declining economy affects population health. Understanding the extreme case of the Great Depression may inform the current debate as well as theory regarding biological and behavioral adaptations to unwanted economic change. We test the hypothesis, recently suggested in the literature, that period life expectancy at birth improved during the Great Depression. We applie…
Influenza as a Proportion of Pneumonia Mortality
As causes of death, influenza and pneumonia are typically analyzed together. We quantify influenza's contribution to the combined pneumonia and influenza mortality time series for the United States, 1959-2009. A key statistic is I/(P + I), the proportion of pneumonia and influenza mortality accounted for by influenza. Year-to-year, I/(P + I) is highly variable and shows long-term decline. Extreme values of I/(P + I) are associated with extreme P …

Causes of Death in Nineteenth-Century New England
This is a response to the recent contribution by Flurin Condrau and Michael Worboys on epidemics and infections in the nineteenth century. We present data from New England showing that infectious disease deaths were in the majority in the nineteenth century. In the data we examine, the epidemiologic transition is intact
Influenza Analysis Should Include Pneumonia
LETTERS nonphysician sources for Compazine (9%), Diuril (11%), Valium (18%), and Darvon Goldsworthy et al. 1 correctly noted a number of consequences of medication-sharing behav- iors, to which we would add an additional consequence: pharmacoepidemiology studies of drug safety increasingly rely on exposure information drawn from computerized pre- scription or pharmacy records (often as part of HMO or claims data). Our earlier conclusion, now supp…
The 1918-19 influenza pandemic affected tuberculosis in the united states
Bradshaw, Smith, and Blanchard discuss a number of facets of the decline of tuberculosis and influenza, fascinating and important diseases. Bradshaw, Smith, and Blanchard (2008; hereinafter BSB) make a number of points opposing my 2000 Population and Development Review article with Michel Garenne. I will confine the present discussion to these points. It will be useful to begin with a summary of the relevant points of Noymer and Garenne (2000)

The transmission and persistence of ‘urban legends’
This paper describes two related epidemic models of rumor transmission in an age‐structured population. Rumors share with communicable disease certain basic aspects, which means that formal models of epidemics may be applied to the transmission of rumors. The results show that rumors may become entrenched very quickly and persist for a long time, even when skeptics are modeled to take an active role in trying to convince others that the rumor is …

Many studies have shown that the differences in health across socioeconomic strata narrow at older ages. Using panel data from the Nationa…
The 1918 Influenza Epidemic's Effects on Sex Differentials in Mortality in the United States
The 1918 influenza epidemic had a marked and fairly long-lasting effect on the sex differential in mortality in the United States. After 1918 women lost most of their mortality advantage over men and the female/male gap did not regain its pre-epidemic level until the 1930s. An analysis of causes of deaths shows a link with tuberculosis. We conjecture the existence of a selection effect, whereby many 1918 influenza deaths were among tuberculous pe…
