Abstract:

Probable future trends in life expectancy among the elderly in Europe are explored using national data on causes of death reported to the World Health Organization for the period 1950-1990. "The projections presented...try to follow an approach which will take into account the possible impact of the new life-styles of more recent cohorts on future mortality levels among the elderly. In particular, to take better account of life-styles and any changes which have occurred, these projections will be made with reference to specific causes of death, selecting those which play a crucial role in determining mortality trends among the elderly."
