Life expectancy climbs as mortality rates fall for major diseases - in 2000 - Brief Article
"What we do see is almost across the board some slight improvement in mortality," he said. "I'm cautiously optimistic, but after having had four years of a decline in life expectancy, I worry about whether or not this is just a blip." After decades of increases, life expectancy in the...
Life expectancy is growing, fertility rates are falling and the population is aging. We’re marrying later and having fewer children, if any at all. Technology means we can do almost all we need to do from home without physically interacting with a single human soul, and a chronic lack of...
Mortality Metabolic vulnerability Metabolic malnutrition Inflammation Prospective study 1. Introduction As life expectancy increases and populations age rapidly worldwide, understanding the factors that influence longevity, and mortality is becoming increasingly crucial for public health. The biological mechanisms ...
As life expectancy increases and the elderly population expands, the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases is expected to surge in the forthcoming years. This trend is likely to lead to a significant increase in disability and mortality rates associated with these conditions. 2.1.1 AD AD is the ...
Mortality rates continue to increase by 2% per year for uterine corpus (endometrial) cancer, one of the few cancers with increasing mortality. Steeper increases in women of color are widening racial disparities, with the death rate...
Superfund sites could affect life expectancy (LE) via increasing the likelihood of exposure to toxic chemicals. Here, we assess to what extent such presence could alter the LE independently and in the context of sociodemographic determinants. A nationwid
While several studies have reported on the associations between lower testosterone concentrations and poorer health outcomes in aging men, including cardiovascular events and mortality, evidence remains largely observational and mixed51. On the other hand, as X-chromosomal inactivation increases in females...
Typically, species that produce offspring with high mortality rates have short life spans, show early maturity, and produce a large number of small, low-quality offspring. If many of the offspring are unlikely to survive until maturity, it benefits a species to reduce the time it takes for ma...
