TL;DR: Raw data analysis of an age-stage, two-sex life table, incorporating variable development rates among individuals, is described, using data obtained from rearing the potato tuberworm, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae).
Abstract: Raw data analysis of an age-stage, two-sex life table, incorporating variable development rates among individuals, is described, using data obtained from rearing the potato tuberworm, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae). The intrinsic rate of increase is calculated with respect to both sexes. The stable age-stage distribution, stable age distribution, and the stable stage distribution are also calculated. Different results are obtained when the same data are analyzed using the traditional age-specific life table (Leslie matrix or Birch's method). These differences occur because the traditional age-specific life table deals only with female populations and does not take variable development rates among individuals into account. The relationship between the net reproduction rate and mean female fecundity in the age-stage, two-sex life table is described by a simple formula.

TL;DR: This report presents period life tables for the United States based on age-specific death rates in 2000, which show life expectancy increased for both males and females and for both the white and black populations between 1999 and 2000.
Abstract: This report presents period life tables for the United States based on age-specific death rates in 2000. Data used to prepare these life tables are 2000 final mortality statistics; July 1, 2000, population estimates based on the 1990 decennial census; and data from the Medicare program. Presented are complete life tables by age, race, and sex. In 2000 the overall expectation of life at birth was 76.9 years, representing an increase of 0.2 years from life expectancy in 1999. Between 1999 and 2000, life expectancy increased for both males and females and for both the white and black populations. Life expectancy increased by 0.4 years for black males (from 67.8 to 68.2) and by 0.2 years for white males (from 74.6 to 74.8). It increased by 0.2 years for black females (from 74.7 to 74.9) and by 0.1 year for white females (from 79.9 to 80.0).

TL;DR: Social Security and Medicare actuaries should account for the growing number of beneficiaries with multiple chronic conditions when determining population projections and trust fund solvency.
Abstract: Background:The number of people living with multiple chronic conditions is increasing, but we know little about the impact of multimorbidity on life expectancy.Objective:We analyze life expectancy in Medicare beneficiaries by number of chronic conditions.Research Design:A retrospective cohort study

TL;DR: The revised edition of a standard actuarial textbook on the analysis of mortality as discussed by the authors contains new material on demography and population methods and a new chapter has been added on event history analysis and proportional hazards.
Abstract: This is the revised edition of a standard actuarial textbook on the analysis of mortality. It contains new material on demography and population methods. All chapters have been updated or rewritten and a new chapter has been added on event history analysis and proportional hazards. Concepts covered include life tables life expectancy and mortality projections. (ANNOTATION)
