Isi artikel

Research on aging is thriving. In particular, research on mortality is alive and well. Many interesting, important demographic analyses of survival are being undertaken by hundreds of researchers around the world. The human Mortality database (www.mortality.org), supplemented by the Kannisto Thatcher database on Old-Age Mortality and the Human Lifetable Database (both available at www.demogr.mpg.de), have facilitated these analyses and are the source of most of the facts about deaths given below. I use these facts as a springboard to briefly discuss six questions about mortality at older ages that I think are especially significant and challenging.
