Abstract: The purpose of this study is to construct a mortality model that reasonably explains survival curves and mortality rates in terms of the decline in biological function, which is the phenomenon of ageing. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00484-024-02745-y
Abstract: Temperature-related mortality is the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the United States. Herein, we explore the effect of air masses (AMs) – a relatively novel and holistic measure of environmental conditions – on human… read more here.

Abstract: Exposure to particulate matter of smaller than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5) is linked to increased human mortality, and could be further complicated by concurrent ambient air temperatures. Published reports indicate that the association between ambient… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0262846
Abstract: In many countries of the world, COVID–19 pandemic has led to exceptional changes in mortality trends. Some studies have tried to quantify the effects of Covid-19 in terms of a reduction in life expectancy at… read more here.

Gompertz, Makeham, and Siler models explain Taylor's law in human mortality data
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Demographic Research"
DOI: 10.4054/demres.2018.38.29
Abstract: Background: Taylor’s law (TL) states a linear relationship on logarithmic scales between the variance and the mean of a nonnegative quantity. TL has been observed in spatiotemporal contexts for the population density of hundreds of… read more here.
