The timing of the transition from mortality compression to mortality delay in Europe, Japan and the United States
Abstract Previous research found evidence for a transition from mortality compression (declining lifespan variability) to mortality delay (increasing ages at death) in low-mortality countries. We specifically assessed the year at which increases in life expectancy at birth transitioned from being pr...
