Recent Trends and Future Uncertainties in Longevity

The Symposium is devoted to demographic, epidemiologic, and public health research on mortality, longevity, and health across national and sub-national populations. The purpose of the Symposium is to present and promote research on mortality and survival. Analyses based on data from the Human Mortality Database (HMD) and the Human Life table Database (HLD) are particularly encouraged. The Symposium aims at addressing major themes and challenges of substantive research as well as methodological and data issues. In addition to contributing to the scientific program, participants are invited to provide feedback and suggestions on the currently available contents and on the methods used as well as to propose future developments for the Human Mortality Database Project.

NOTE: Links are given to abstracts, presentations, and posters, as available. Those available to the public are indicated in green, while those restricted to Seminar participants are in red.

Satellite Meeting: Mortality data and methodological approaches in estimating mortality in developing countries

The number of countries included in the Human Mortality Database (HMD) has been approaching its limits due to strict requirements for coverage and reliability of population statistics. The HMD project considers several directions for further development taking into account the global importance and growing demand for more reliable and comparable mortality estimates for developing countries. The main goal is to obtain reliable and consistent mortality estimates by using country-specific dataintensive approach combined with standardized methods and uniform principles. The objective of this satellite meeting is to explore and discuss possibilities to extend the HMD approach to China, India, and other middle- and low-income developing countries.
