Book Synopsis Seasonality in Human Mortality by : Roland Rau
Download or read book Seasonality in Human Mortality written by Roland Rau and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-11-24 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seasonal fluctuations in mortality are a persistent phenomenon, but variations from culture to culture pose fascinating questions. This book investigates whether sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors play a role as important for seasonal mortality as they do for mortality in general. Using modern statistical methods, the book shows, for example, that in the United States the fluctuations between winter and summer mortality are smaller the more years someone has spent in school.

Book Synopsis Visualizing Mortality Dynamics in the Lexis Diagram by : Roland Rau
Download or read book Visualizing Mortality Dynamics in the Lexis Diagram written by Roland Rau and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book visualizes mortality dynamics in the Lexis diagram. While the standard approach of plotting death rates is also covered, the focus in this book is on the depiction of rates of mortality improvement over age and time. This rather novel approach offers a more intuitive understanding of the underlying dynamics, enabling readers to better understand whether period- or cohort-effects were instrumental for the development of mortality in a particular country. Besides maps for single countries, the book includes maps on the dynamics of selected causes of death in the United States, such as cardiovascular diseases or lung cancer. The book also features maps for age-specific contributions to the change in life expectancy, for cancer survival and for seasonality in mortality for selected causes of death in the United States. The book is accompanied by instructions on how to use the freely available R Software to produce these types of surface maps. Readers are encouraged to use the presented tools to visualize other demographic data or any event that can be measured by age and calendar time, allowing them to adapt the methods to their respective research interests. The intended audience is anyone who is interested in visualizing data by age and calendar time; no specialist knowledge is required. This book is open access under a CC BY license.

Anne Case and Angus Deaton explain the overwhelming surge in these deaths and shed light on the social and economic forces that are making life harder for the working class. As the college educated become healthier and wealthier, adults without a degree are literally dying from pain and despair. Case and Deaton tie the crisis to the weakening position of labor, the growing power of corporations, and a rapacious health-care sector that redistributes working-class wages into the pockets of the wealthy. This critically important book paints a troubling portrait of the American dream in decline, and provides solutions that can rein in capitalism's excesses and make it work for everyone.

Book Synopsis An Evaluation of Seasonality Through Four Delineation Methods by : Michael James Allen
Download or read book An Evaluation of Seasonality Through Four Delineation Methods written by Michael James Allen and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structured into three, interrelated projects, this dissertation is organized under the research themes of climate change and human mortality responses associated with heat and cold events. Using diverse, methodologies which incorporate spatiotemporal variability into seasonal definitions, consistent results were found pertaining to seasonal climate change. Climatological data for 60 U.S. locations was chosen for a lengthy period of record (1948-2012), and despite the various delineation methods, results generally indicate earlier starts to summer while winters have become shorter. Using percentile thresholds of daily mean apparent temperature, heat, extreme heat, cold, and extreme cold events (anomalous temperature events or ATEs) were defined and analyzed. In addition to increased frequency and duration, heat and extreme heat events have started earlier over the course of the year since 1948. Conversely, cold and extreme cold have shown the opposite with less frequent, shorter, and later occurring events taking place. While not directly explored, a relationship with ATEs and large-scale teleconnection patterns such as El Niño seems to exist. In bioclimatological research, human health responses have been associated with duration, intensity, and seasonal timing. When comparing mortality responses, a relatively unexplored method in climatology was introduced. More common in epidemiological research, a distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) assessed the delayed, non-linear responses associated with environmental outcomes. In regards to both heat and cold events, greater risk was associated with early season events compared to later occurring ones. Elevated thresholds of extreme heat and extreme cold showed higher risks when compared to less extreme events. Geographic variability was also shown with higher risks for heat-related mortality in more northern locations while cold-related risks were higher in locations less accustomed to heat. Comparing mortality responses following ATEs, the consistent relationships were found, irrespective of seasonal and ATE definitions. Understanding the relationship between human health outcomes, changing seasons, and anomalous temperature events will remain an emphasis of future climate-health research. With projected changes to the climate system, future research may further examine differential responses which may be dependent on age, sex, cause of death, and race.
