Project Scope
|
An ad hoc panel of experts will examine the reasons behind the divergent trends that have been observed in longevity at older ages across high-income countries over the past quarter century and prepare a report. The panel will address the following three questions: What accounts for the different trends in mortality at older ages that have been observed in OECD countries? What can we learn about modifiable risk factors from countries where mortality at oldest ages has improved most rapidly in the last quarter century? What are the likely implications of these trends for the future trajectory of mortality at advanced ages in the United States?
The project is sponsored by the National Institute on Aging
The approximate start date for the project is September 1, 2007
A report will be issued at the end of the project in approximately 36 months
