Adult Mortality in Developed Countries: From Description to Explanation (International Studies in Demography) - Hardcover
With sharp declines in infant and child mortality during the twentieth century, virtually all deaths in developed countries now occur among adults. Demographers have long been aware, however, of the great diversity of adult mortality experience within and among countries, due to a host of interactions between societal, environmental, biological and behavioural variables, the mechanisms of which, for the most part, remain elusive. The challenge for demographers, taken up by this book, is to move away form description towards explanation. The first section is concerned with the more theoretical aspects of conceptual models and frameworks for the analysis of adult mortality. The second section deals with the diversity of mortality, paying particular attention to sex, region of residence, and socio-economic status. The final section of the book draws heavily on the North American experience to consider some of the policy and programme implications necessary to reduce preventable adult mortality levels further-including government policies to control smoking and alcohol, and to promote healthful behaviour patterns, It also indicates areas of future research. _ This book is intended for demographers and epidemiologists; those involved in public health, health statistics, and health care systems.
