Educational differences in chronic conditions and their role in the educational differences in overall mortality

Castro, Ruben - In: Demographic Research 27 (2012) 12, pp. 339-364

Demographers use different models to decompose the prevalence of given health conditions. This article discusses how these models can help us understand the ways in which these conditions affect overall mortality. In particular, this framework can be used to understand the role that any given...

Estimation of multi-state life table functions and their variability from complex survey data using the SPACE Program

Cai, Liming; Hayward, Mark; Saito, Yasuhiko; Lubitz, James - In: Demographic Research 22 (2010) 6, pp. 129-158

The multistate life table (MSLT) model is an important demographic method to document life cycle processes. In this study, we present the SPACE (Stochastic Population Analysis for Complex Events) program to estimate MSLT functions and their sampling variability. It has several advantages over...

Coping with multiple morbidity in a life table

Barendregt, Jan; Oortmarssen, Gerrit Van; Hout, Ben Van; … - In: Mathematical Population Studies 7 (1998) 1, pp. 29-49

One of the applications of the multi-state life table is in the field of Public Health, with states defining various … unpractically large. In this paper we introduce the proportional multi-state life table. It is especially designed to cope …
