Longevity in the United States
 — age and sex-specific evidence on life span limits from mortality patterns 1960-1990
Author(s)Kenneth G Manton, Eric Stallard
Journal titleThe Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, vol 51A, no 5, September 1996
Pagespp B362-B375
KeywordsLongevity ; Life span ; Death rate [statistics] ; Life expectancy tables ; United States of America.
AnnotationThe authors examined changes in the US white male and female extinct cohort life tables and age at death distributions. Data did not support the hypothesis on biological limits being a constraint on mortality reductions. Current estimates could be exceeded under plausible scenarios (e.g. mortality reductions were not proportional over age).
