Abstract: OBJECTIVES Social inequalities in health have been largely documented in social science research. Members of the most disadvantaged groups experience worse health and higher mortality from birth throughout adulthood. However, it is not clear whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ssmph.2019.100422
Abstract: The number of older adults is increasing in high-income countries as survival chances continue to improve. We investigate changes in survival at older ages in high-income countries and show that although survival chances have improved,… read more here.

Abstract: Age‐related diseases characteristic of post‐reproductive life, aging, and life span are the examples of polygenic non‐Mendelian traits with intricate genetic architectures. Polygenicity of these traits implies that multiple variants can impact their risks independently or… read more here.

Mortality postponement and compression at older ages in human cohorts
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "PLOS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0281752
Abstract: A key but unresolved issue in the study of human mortality at older ages is whether mortality is being compressed (which implies that we may be approaching a maximum limit to the length of life)… read more here.
