Humm should we trust self-driving cars from someone who doesn't get momentum?

UN projections are utter nonsense. Just multiply last year’s births by life expectancy. Given downward trend in birth rate, that is best case unless reversed.

Lifetime years married held steady for men with a BA degree since 1960 but dropped to lowest level...

Trends in life expectancy and marriage patterns work together to determine expected lifetime years married. In 1880, adult life expectancy was shor...

This reconstruction of the long-term trends illustrates how stunning, and worrisome the short-term increase in premature mortality in the US is. Great paper: "Missing Americans: Early death in the United States—1933–2021" doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pg…

Missing Americans: Early death in the United States—1933–2021

Abstract. We assessed how many US deaths would have been averted each year, 1933–2021, if US age-specific mortality rates had equaled the average of 21 oth

I was well aware of the mortality gap between the US and W Euro, but I still can't wrap my head around how large and how quickly increasing it is theconversation.com/annual-n… via @ConversationUS

New research shows that preventable deaths are increasing in the US at the same time that life expectancy keeps dropping.

The number of excess deaths between the US and the five European countries increased between 2017 and 2021. Nearly half of the increase was due to causes other than Covid-19. Important new paper by @PatrickHvl @UCLA in @PLOSONE journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

Both the number and share of these “excess deaths” have increased during the pandemic, but nearly as much from the expansion of pre-pandemic differences in middle-age mortality as from differences in COVID-19 mortality itself

Nice study from @PatrickHvl in @PLOSONE shows that excess deaths in the US have increased dramatically during the pandemic, and it's not just due to COVID. I covered @medscape this week: medscape.com/viewarticle/989…

States with high COVID death rates also saw high mortality from other causes. Undercounting of COVID deaths was likely a major contributing factor. New paper w Anneliese Luck @eugenio_paglino @irmatelo Sam Preston @khemp64 @PennPSC @RWJF @PLOSONE bit.ly/3ZFC9bv

States with high COVID-19 death rates also saw high mortality from other causes | Penn Today

Research from Penn, Boston University, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation shows that between March 2020 and February 2021 non-COVID deaths accounted for some 20% of excess mortality.

Bottom line, I’m interpreting it as an age-standardized measure of premature mortality, but this is really an-ongoing reflection: would love to hear back from #poptwitter & #demogtwitter (or whatever’s left thereof now)
Demographic Research@DemographicRes6 Jan 2023
Demographers’ intuition for life expectancy values (LEV) derives from a constant mortality thought-experiment. How do we interpret changes in LEV during temporary mortality shocks then? See Patrick Heuveline’s reflections here 👉demographic-research.org/vol…
