Educational Disparities in Preventable Deaths: Do They Explain the Longevity Gap Between Mexico and Spain
Objective Determine how preventable causes of death contribute to the life expectancy gap between Mexico and Spain. Methods We used a linear integral decomposition to analyze the impact of preventable mortality on life expectancy between ages 30-75 (temporary life expectancy) between Mexico and Spain in 2018. Additionally, we computed cause-deleted life tables to estimate potential gains in temporary life expectancy. Analyses were stratified by e…
Lung cancer mortality trends among women across Spain: The role of birth cohorts in diverging regional patterns
Smoking among Spanish women has increased during the last 50 years and is considered by some authors a modern epidemic. However, mortality risk by cohorts may differ at a regional level, given that health inequalities (and the determinants of smoking and its consequences) are regionally patterned. We applied an Age-Period-Cohort model to identify birth cohort effects on female lung cancer mortality in Spain. We found a strong linear increase in l…
The Race between Mortality and Morbidity: Implications for the Global Distribution of Health
Assessments of countries' longevity and its variability around the globe often rely on life expectancy (LE) but tend not to differentiate between the years spent in "good" or "less-than-good" health. We explore how the evolution of the healthy and unhealthy components of LE has shaped the composition of LE within countries, and the extent of LE inequality between countries. Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study, we document the joint…
Regional inequalities in life expectancy and lifespan variation by educational attainment in Spain, 2014–2018
Two important sources of inequality in mortality are regional variation and individuals' socioeconomic status. While many studies have investigated the effect that each of these two factors might have had on mortality levels separately, they have rarely been studied simultaneously. Using linked data from the Spanish National Institute of Statistics, we study regional levels of life expectancy and lifespan inequality by sex and educational attainm…
An Age-Period-Cohort Approach to Analyse Late-Life Depression Prevalence in Six European Countries, 2004–2016
Estimating life expectancy free of anxiety/depression in Argentina: Trends and Decomposition of Demographic Change, 2005-2018
This study presents estimates of life expectancy free of anxiety/depression (a health expectancy) for the adult population in Argentina and observes its evolution during the 2005-2018 period. Given that life expectancy and health expectancy are strongly correlated indicators, we decomposed the change of the latter over time to establish not only which component causes its variation, but also which age groups contributed the most to this change. W…
Mortality analysis of persons with disabilities in Argentina by age, sex and duration of benefit, 2015–16
This article describes the differential mortality of Argentina’s disability pension beneficiaries during the 2015–16 period, based on National Social Security Administration ( Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social – ANSES) payment records. It compares data for those with an assessed disability with overall population data, as well as with available international data (from Canada, Chile, Mexico, and the United States of America). In addi…
