| Causes of increased deaths in former states of the USSR. Book chapter viewable online at National Ac ademy Press site. |
| In recent years there have been alarming reports of rapid decreases in life expectancy in the New In dependent States (former members of the Soviet Union). To help assess priorities for health policy, the Committee on Population organized two workshops--the first on adult mortality and disability, th e second on adult health priorities and policies. Participants included demographers, epidemiologist s, public health specialists, economists, and policymakers from the NIS countries, the United States , and Western Europe. This volume consists of selected papers presented at the workshops. They asses s the reliability of data on mortality, morbidity, and disability; analyze regional patterns and tre nds in mortality rates and causes of death; review evidence about major determinants of adult mortal ity; and discuss implications for health policy. |

| Between Zeus and the Salmon: The Biodemography of Longevity |
| http://www.nap.edu/books/0309057876/html/index.html |
| Online version of multi-author book describing biology and demography of longevity. Book can be orde red from National Academy Press. |
| Demographers and public health specialists have been surprised by the rapid increases in life expect ancy, especially at the oldest ages, that have occurred since the early 1960s. Some scientists are c alling into question the idea of a fixed upper limit for the human life span. There is new evidence about the genetic bases for both humans and other species. There are also new theories and models of the role of mutations accumulating over the life span and the possible evolutionary advantages of s urvival after the reproductive years.This volume deals with such diverse topics as the role of the e lderly in other species and among human societies past and present, the contribution of evolutionary theory to our understanding of human longevity and intergenerational transfers, mathematical models for survival, and the potential for collecting genetic material in household surveys. It will be pa rticularly valuable for promoting communication between the social and life sciences. |
