Abstract

При изучении возрастной динамики смертности людей необходима осторожность в использовании когортных данных, поскольку смертность зависит не только от возраста, но и от меняющихся со временем условий жизни. Для дальнейшей проверки предложена гипотеза о том, что актуарная скорость старения может даже снижаться в более современных когортах людей благодаря улучшению условий жизни.
