Abstract

Gains in life expectancy have recently slowed, and mortality inequalities have increased. This paper examines whether trends in health observed at ages 55–89 mirror those trends in mortality, which may serve as an early indicator for the future evolution of mortality. We found that many health outcomes have worsened from 1992 to 2016, especially at ages below 70, and that differentials in health between low- and high-educated groups have increased among the more recent cohorts. Overall, the findings cast a pessimistic light on the future evolution of mortality rates and mortality inequalities.

中年和晚年的健康趋势

预期寿命的增长最近有所放缓，死亡率不平等现象加剧。本文研究了55-89岁时观察到的健康趋势是否反映了死亡率的趋势，这可能是未来死亡率演变的早期指标。我们发现，从1992年到2016年，许多健康状况都有所恶化，尤其是在70岁以下的人群中，而且在最近的队列中，低学历和高学历群体之间的健康差异有所增加。总的来说，研究结果对死亡率和死亡率不平等的未来演变持悲观态度。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
