Sex-differences in life expectancy at birth
Official mortality statistics provide ample evidence that women live longer than men. In many European countries, the sex difference in life expectancy began to increase near the end of the nineteenth century, peaking between the 1960s and the 1980s, before declining again. In Norway, there was another earlier peak before the sex gap started to converge to that in other European countries. This study investigated changes in sex differences in lif…
Burden of suicide presented as one of the leading causes of death
BACKGROUND: Suicide is a relatively rare incident. Nevertheless, parts of the literature on intentional self-harm behaviour state that suicide is one of the leading causes of death. We aimed to assess the evidence behind the statement that suicide is a leading cause of death across all ages, with reference to the methods of ranking causes of death. METHODS: Two sets of data were used: For the European Union (EU) we used cause specific mortality s…
