  • Inequality in life expectancy losses by education in Finland during Covid-19 pandemic

    Open Access•Dmitri A Jdanov, Dmitri Jdanov et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal for Equity…•2026

    The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a rapid increase in mortality in most societies examined. The effects of the pandemic have varied considerably between different populations, time periods and age groups. Studies also report pronounced socioeconomic differentials, with mortality rates being higher in lower socioeconomic groups. However, the evidence about mortality changes across socioeconomic groups is somewhat patchier. We use annual death …

  • Seasonal Mortality and its Impact on Spatial Inequality in Life Expectancy Across Italy

    Open Access•Isabella Marinetti, Dmitri A Jdanov et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Population /…•2025•References: 55

    Seasonal mortality fluctuations significantly affect national life expectancy, yet their role in regional inequalities remains underexplored. Understanding this is crucial for targeted health policies aimed at reducing spatial mortality differences. We quantify the impact of seasonal excess mortality on regional life expectancy levels (e 0 ) and inequalities in Italy. Using monthly mortality data from the Italian National Statistical Institute by…

  • Seasonality in mortality and its impact on life expectancy levels and trends across Europe

    Open Access•Isabella Marinetti, Dmitri A Jdanov et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2025•Cited by: 2•References: 33

    Background Seasonal fluctuations in mortality affect annual life expectancy at birth (e 0 ). Nevertheless, evidence on the impact of seasonal mortality on longevity is very limited and mainly restricted to assessing season-specific mortality levels due to shocks (e.g., heatwaves and influenza epidemics). We investigated the influence of seasonality in mortality on life expectancy levels and temporal trends across 20 European countries during 2000…

    Open Access•Tomáš Sobotka, Kryštof Zeman et al.•ARTICLE•Population and Development Review•2024•Cited by: 21•References: 75

    We use monthly birth data collected by the Human Fertility Database to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on birth trends until September 2022 in 38 higher-income countries. We also present estimates of the monthly total fertility rate adjusted for seasonality. Our analysis reveals that the pandemic led to distinct swings in births and fertility rates. The initial pandemic shock was associated with a fall in births in most countries, wit…

  • Two-dimensional contour decomposition: Decomposing mortality differences into initial difference and trend components by age and cause of death

    Open Access•Dmitri A Jdanov, Dmitri Jdanov et al.•ARTICLE•Demographic Research•2024•References: 19

    BACKGROUND: Conventional decomposition analysis identifies contributions from differences in covariates in total between-population difference, but does not address the question of the historical roots of the differences. To close this gap, the contour decomposition method was proposed. Since 2017, when it was published, this method has been successfully applied in several papers. Nevertheless, it has an important limitation: causes of death cann…

  • What should be the baseline when calculating excess mortality? New approaches suggest that we have underestimated the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and previous winter peaks

    Open Access•Vladimir M Shkolnikov, Ilya Klimkin et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Population Health•2022

    Excess mortality has been used to measure the impact of COVID-19 over time and across countries. But what baseline should be chosen? We propose two novel approaches: an alternative retrospective baseline derived from the lowest weekly death rates achieved in previous years and a within-year baseline based on the average of the 13 lowest weekly death rates within the same year. These baselines express normative levels of the lowest feasible target…

  • Sensitivity Analysis of Excess Mortality due to the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open Access•Marília R Nepomuceno, Ilya Klimkin et al.•ARTICLE•Population and Development Review•2022•Cited by: 12•References: 29

    Estimating excess mortality is challenging. The metric depends on the expected mortality level, which can differ based on given choices, such as the method and the time series length used to estimate the baseline. However, these choices are often arbitrary, and are not subject to any sensitivity analysis. We bring to light the importance of carefully choosing the inputs and methods used to estimate excess mortality. Drawing on data from 26 countr…

    Les pratiques de certification et de codage des causes initiales de décès ne sont pas toutes les mêmes, ce qui peut nuire à la pertinence et la fiabilité des statistiques de mortalité par cause. La cohérence de ces données au sein d'un même pays peut être considérée comme un critère de qualité.

  • Adjusting Inter-censal Population Estimates for Germany 1987-2011: Approaches and Impact on Demographic Indicators

    Open Access•Sebastian Klüsener, Pavel Grigoriev et al.•ARTICLE•Comparative Population Studies•2018•Cited by: 3•References: 2

    To derive reliable demographic indicators, appropriate data on population exposures are needed. Access to such data is becoming increasingly challenging in many countries due to factors such as the growing diversity of international migration patterns and the trend towards replacing full censuses with register-based censuses. Germany represents a particularly challenging case in this respect. Before Germany implemented its first register-based ce…

  • Decomposing Current Mortality Differences Into Initial Differences and Differences in Trends: The Contour Decomposition Method

    Open Access•Dmitri A Jdanov, Vladimir M Shkolnikov et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•2017•Cited by: 4•References: 21

    This study proposes a new decomposition method that permits a difference in an aggregate measure at a final time point to be split into additive components corresponding to the initial differences in the event rates of the measure and differences in trends in these underlying event rates. For instance, when studying divergence in life expectancy, this method allows researchers to more easily contrast age-specific mortality trends between populati…

  • Long-term trends in the longevity of scientific elites: Evidence from the British and the Russian academies of science

    Evgeny M Andreev, Dmitri A Jdanov et al.•ARTICLE•Population Studies•2011•Cited by: 4•References: 22

    National science academies represent intellectual elites and vanguard groups in the achievement of longevity. We estimated life expectancy (LE) at age 50 of members of the British Royal Society (RS) for the years 1670-2007 and of members of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) for the years 1750-2006. The longevity of academicians was higher than that of their corresponding national populations, with the gap widening from the 1950s. Since the 19…

  • Steep Increase in Best-Practice Cohort Life Expectancy

    Open Access•Vladimir M Shkolnikov, Dmitri A Jdanov et al.•ARTICLE•Population and Development Review•2011•Cited by: 12•References: 30

    We analyze trends in best-practice life expectancy among female cohorts born from 1870 to 1950. Cohorts experience declining rather than constant death rates, and cohort life expectancy usually exceeds period life expectancy. Unobserved mortality rates in non-extinct cohorts are estimated using the Lee-Carter model for mortality in 1960-2008. Best-practice cohort and period life expectancies increased nearly linearly. Across cohorts born from 187…

    This study proposes a new decomposition method that permits a difference in an aggregate measure at a final time point to be split into additive components corresponding to the initial differences in the event rates of the measure and differences in trends in these underlying event rates. For instance, when studying divergence in life expectancy, this method allows researchers to more easily contrast age-specific mortality trends between populati…

  • Adjusting Inter-censal Population Estimates for Germany 1987-2011: Approaches and Impact on Demographic Indicators

    Open Access•Sebastian Klüsener, Pavel Grigoriev et al.•ARTICLE•Comparative Population Studies•2018•Cited by: 3•References: 2

    To derive reliable demographic indicators, appropriate data on population exposures are needed. Access to such data is becoming increasingly challenging in many countries due to factors such as the growing diversity of international migration patterns and the trend towards replacing full censuses with register-based censuses. Germany represents a particularly challenging case in this respect. Before Germany implemented its first register-based ce…

  • Excess deaths associated with covid-19 pandemic in 2020: Age and sex disaggregated time series analysis in 29 high income countries

  • What should be the baseline when calculating excess mortality? New approaches suggest that we have underestimated the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and previous winter peaks

    Open Access•Vladimir M Shkolnikov, Ilya Klimkin et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Population Health•2022

    Excess mortality has been used to measure the impact of COVID-19 over time and across countries. But what baseline should be chosen? We propose two novel approaches: an alternative retrospective baseline derived from the lowest weekly death rates achieved in previous years and a within-year baseline based on the average of the 13 lowest weekly death rates within the same year. These baselines express normative levels of the lowest feasible target…

  • Sensitivity Analysis of Excess Mortality due to the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open Access•Marília R Nepomuceno, Ilya Klimkin et al.•ARTICLE•Population and Development Review•2022•Cited by: 12•References: 29

    Estimating excess mortality is challenging. The metric depends on the expected mortality level, which can differ based on given choices, such as the method and the time series length used to estimate the baseline. However, these choices are often arbitrary, and are not subject to any sensitivity analysis. We bring to light the importance of carefully choosing the inputs and methods used to estimate excess mortality. Drawing on data from 26 countr…

  • Cohérence des données sur les causes de décès à l'échelle infranationale: Les exemples de la Russie, de l'Allemagne, des États-Unis et de la France

    Open Access•Inna Danilova, Roland Rau et al.•ARTICLE•Population•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 32

    Les pratiques de certification et de codage des causes initiales de décès ne sont pas toutes les mêmes, ce qui peut nuire à la pertinence et la fiabilité des statistiques de mortalité par cause. La cohérence de ces données au sein d'un même pays peut être considérée comme un critère de qualité. Cet article évalue la cohérence à l'échelle infranationale des statistiques sur les causes de décès en Russie, en Allemagne, aux États-Unis et en France. …

  • Pandemic Roller-Coaster? Birth Trends in Higher-Income Countries During the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open Access•Tomáš Sobotka, Kryštof Zeman et al.•ARTICLE•Population and Development Review•2024•Cited by: 21•References: 75

    We use monthly birth data collected by the Human Fertility Database to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on birth trends until September 2022 in 38 higher-income countries. We also present estimates of the monthly total fertility rate adjusted for seasonality. Our analysis reveals that the pandemic led to distinct swings in births and fertility rates. The initial pandemic shock was associated with a fall in births in most countries, wit…

  • Two-dimensional contour decomposition: Decomposing mortality differences into initial difference and trend components by age and cause of death

    Open Access•Dmitri A Jdanov, Dmitri Jdanov et al.•ARTICLE•Demographic Research•2024•References: 19

    BACKGROUND: Conventional decomposition analysis identifies contributions from differences in covariates in total between-population difference, but does not address the question of the historical roots of the differences. To close this gap, the contour decomposition method was proposed. Since 2017, when it was published, this method has been successfully applied in several papers. Nevertheless, it has an important limitation: causes of death cann…

  • Seasonal Mortality and its Impact on Spatial Inequality in Life Expectancy Across Italy

    Open Access•Isabella Marinetti, Dmitri A Jdanov et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Population /…•2025•References: 55

    Seasonal mortality fluctuations significantly affect national life expectancy, yet their role in regional inequalities remains underexplored. Understanding this is crucial for targeted health policies aimed at reducing spatial mortality differences. We quantify the impact of seasonal excess mortality on regional life expectancy levels (e 0 ) and inequalities in Italy. Using monthly mortality data from the Italian National Statistical Institute by…

  • Seasonality in mortality and its impact on life expectancy levels and trends across Europe

    Open Access•Isabella Marinetti, Dmitri A Jdanov et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2025•Cited by: 2•References: 33

    Background Seasonal fluctuations in mortality affect annual life expectancy at birth (e 0 ). Nevertheless, evidence on the impact of seasonal mortality on longevity is very limited and mainly restricted to assessing season-specific mortality levels due to shocks (e.g., heatwaves and influenza epidemics). We investigated the influence of seasonality in mortality on life expectancy levels and temporal trends across 20 European countries during 2000…
