We also explore the individual-specific effects of Long Covid. We develop and …

In this paper, we develop a life cycle model in which health and longevity are threatened by infectious and chronic … diseases. The model captures that the susceptibility and severity of infectious diseases depend on the accumulated health … deficits (immunosenescence) and that the life history of infections affects the accumulation of chronic health deficits …

, we use a microsimulation approach to project what US longevity would look like, if US health trends approximated those in … life expectancy at that age has diverged substantially compared to Europe. We find that this growing longevity gap is … primarily the symptom of real declines in the health of near-elderly Americans, relative to their European peers. In particular …

Longevity expectations (LE) are subjective assessments of future health status that can influence a number of … individual health protective decisions. This is especially true during a pandemic such as COVID-19, as the risk of ill health … on protective health behaviours and a number of decisions around access to health care, using data from the Survey of …

Implementation of evidence-based interventions to control obesity is regarded as a public health priority. In this …
