Abstract

This article constructs new life tables for the white population of the United States in each decade between 1790 and 1900. Drawing from several recent studies, it suggests best estimates of life expectancy at age 20 for each decade. These estimates are fitted to new standards derived from the 1900-02 rural and 1900-02 overall DRA life tables using a two-parameter logit model with fixed slope. The resulting decennial life tables more accurately represent sex-and age-specific mortality rates while capturing known mortality trends.

美国白人人口十年寿命表，1790-1900 年。

本文为 1790 年至 1900 年间每个十年的美国白人人口构建了新的生命表。根据最近的几项研究，文章提出了每个年代 20 岁时预期寿命的最佳估计值。这些估计值与从 1900-02 年农村人口生命表和 1900-02 年 DRA 总人口生命表中得出的新标准相匹配，使用的是具有固定斜率的双参数对数模型。由此得出的十年期生命表更准确地反映了特定性别和年龄的死亡率，同时捕捉到了已知的死亡率趋势。

It explores interdisciplinary approaches to new data sources, new approaches to older questions and material, and practical discussions of computer and statistical methodology, data collection, and sampling procedures. The journal includes the following features: “Evidence Matters” emphasizes how to find, decipher, and analyze evidence whether or not that evidence is meant to be quantified. “Database Developments” announces major new public databases or large alterations in older ones, discusses innovative ways to organize them, and explains new ways of categorizing information.
