Assessing the contribution of age-sex differentials in causes of death due to infectious and parasitic diseases to the trends in age-sex differentials in life expectancy in Mauritius
This study applies two methodologies to Mauritian life tables and cause-of-death data: (1) the decomposition of sex differentials in life expectancy using Arriaga's approach and (2) the estimation of the effect of marginal reduction in deaths from infectious and parasitic diseases on life expectancy using Keyfitz's methodology on cause-specific entropy and that of Nanjo. The findings in this paper support earlier findings about the importance of …
Indirect estimation of cause of death structure in Africa and contemporary theories of mortality
This paper is a critical assessment of techniques used for the estimation of cause of death structure in Africa in the light of contemporary theories of mortality. The technique mostly used for the indirect estimation of cause of death structure is based on the mortality experience in Western countries. With the marked differences in the epidemiologic transition experienced in Western countries and those being experienced in African countries, it…
Quantitative approaches to detect the fourth stage of the epidemiologic transition
Widely diverse quantitative measures have been used to study the onset of the different stages of the epidemiologic transition, including the fourth stage. This report suggests additional methods for detecting the fourth stage of the epidemiologic transition that are more parsimonious than those previously used. While these methods are not new, they have potential for application in this area of research. An example of one of these methods is ill…
Influence of cause-of-death structure on age patterns of mortality in Mauritius
Over the period 1969-86, Mauritian mortality declined rapidly, accompanied by substantial change in its age pattern of mortality and cause-of-death structure. Using cause-of-death data for this period, this paper studies the influence of cause-of-death structure on age patterns of mortality. Infectious and parasitic diseases had marked influence on age patterns of mortality for young Mauritian males, while circulatory causes of death influenced t…
