This volume presents a state of the art coverage of the measurement
and evolution of mortality over time. It describes in great detail
the changes in the cause patterns of mortality, the changes in
mortality patterns at different ages, and specific analyses of
mortality in particular countries. Derived from a meeting of the
European Working Group on Health, Morbidity and Mortality held at
the Vienna Institute of Demography, September 2011, it presents a
cross-section of the work and concerns of mortality researchers
across Europe, ranging from London and Madrid in the west to Moscow
in the east, with a few additions from further afield. Although
most of the papers focus on a particular population, the range of
the papers is broad; taken together they present an
inter-disciplinary cross-section of this multi-faceted field.
Coverage includes estimating life expectancy in small areas, with
an application to recent changes in US counties; socioeconomic
determinants of mortality in Europe using the latest available data
and short-term forecasts; predicting mortality from profiles of
biological risk and performance measures of functioning; infant
mortality measurement and rate of progress on international
commitment using evidence from Argentina; avoidable factors
contributing to maternal deaths in Turkey; changes in mortality at
older ages: the case of Spain (1975- 2006); variable scales of
avoidable mortality within the Russian population; long-term
mortality decline in East Asia, and much more. Perspectives in
Mortality Research will serve as a valuable resource for
professionals and students in sociology, demography, public health
and personal finance."
