When Hospice Fails: The Limits of Palliative Care
Hospice is the best-known example of palliative care. Advocates maintain that good palliative care precludes any need for suicide, assisted suicide, or euthanasia for suffering patients near the end of life. This article examines the feasibility of the palliative approach for all patients, showing that reasonable people may refuse even the most exemplary care for themselves or an incompetent relative. Palliative care should always have an importa…

Race differences in long-term disability: Middle-aged and older American Indians, blacks and whites in Oklahoma
This article analyzes long-term disability patterns and measures “excess” disability by race for persons 45 and over in Oklahoma in 1980, using decennial census data. There are large within- and between group differences in disability prevalence lence by age and socioeconomic characteristics. Substantial “excess” disability—defined as disability which might be prevented if “class” differentials were reduced or removed—characterizes minorities and…

Public transportation disability and the elderly: An assessment based on 1980 census data
Economic Development and the Older Population
The implications of aging populations and of increasing proportions aged 65 and older have only recently emerged as a concern on the policy agenda in the less developed world. After sketching the demographic context of aging in less developed regions this article presents a conceptual framework for relating the older population to development policy. Four perspectives on the aged are identified as implicit in development policies: (1) the aged as…
Of Sound History and Sound Methodology: A Rejoinder
Of Sound History and Sound Methodology: A Rejoinder My critique of Byers' study ofNantucket fertility patterns focused on sampling biases arising from his confounding of two critically important definitions-complete families and families with complete data. His failure to distinguish between these two concepts resulted in rules for sample selection which were not only unnecessarily restrictive but, moreover, served to produce a biased group of fa…
The Case for Birth Control before 1850: Nantucket Reexamined
2 prevously reported family reconstitution studies of marital fertility among Nantucket couples during approximately the same time period (1680-1840 and 1660-1850) reached vastly different conclusions concerning the level of fertility the shape of the observed decline in fertility and the reasons for the decline in fertility; and explanation for the disparities in the 2 studies was offered. The 1st study conducted by Edward Byers was based on all…
The Whaling Industry and Fertility Decline: Nantucket, Massachusetts 1660-1850
Accuracy of death certificate ages for the extreme aged
This study attempts to verify age reporting on the death certificate for the “extreme aged” population and to evaluate the accuracy of recent death rates for this group in light of the findings. In addition, methods used and problems encountered in carrying out a record linkage study, particularly a low match rate, are identified. A sample of more than three thousand death records was selected from those filed for decedents age 85 and over in Pen…
