Human mortality beyond age 110
نویسنده
چکیده
The International Database of Longevity (IDL) offers detailed information on thoroughly validated cases of supercentenarians. These data are used to estimate human mortality after age 110. The procedure properly accounts for the country-specific sampling frames in the IDL. The analysis confirms that human mortality after age 110 is flat at a level corresponding to an annual probability of death of 50%. No sex-specific differences in mortality could be found, and no time trend in supercentenarian mortality between earlier and later cohorts could be detected.

Physical independence and mortality at the extreme limit of life span: supercentenarians study in Japan.
BACKGROUND Prevention of disability is a major challenge in aging populations; however, the extent to which physical independence can be maintained toward the limit of human life span remains to be determined. METHODS We examined the health and functional status of 642 centenarians: 207 younger centenarians (age: 100-104 years), 351 semi-supercentenarians (age: 105-109 years), and 84 supercen...

The highest reported age at death is now well above 110 years and appears to increase over time The number of centenarians has doubled every decade since 1960 in low-mortality countries (Vaupel and Jeune 1995), refuting the belief held two decades ago that this number could not increase (Fries 1980). Much controversy about the limits to life expectancy continues among demogra-These past demogra...
متن کاملElevated Admission Glucose and Mortality in Patients With Acute Pulmonary Embolism
OBJECTIVE Although associated with adverse outcomes in other cardiopulmonary conditions, the prognostic value of elevated glucose in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is unknown. We sought to examine the association between glucose levels and mortality and hospital readmission rates for patients with PE. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We evaluated 13,621 patient discharges with a prima...
متن کاملA re-look at the duration of human pregnancy.
INTRODUCTION The duration of human pregnancy is arbitrarily taken as 280 days (40 weeks). Foetuses are considered to be at high risk once pregnancy goes beyond the expected date of confinement. This study was carried out with the aim of determining the mean gestation age of low-risk pregnancies that went into spontaneous labour and the incidence of adverse outcomes in relation to gestation. M...
متن کاملSystolic Blood Pressure Trajectory, Frailty, and All-Cause Mortality >80 Years of Age: Cohort Study Using Electronic Health Records.
BACKGROUND Clinical trials show benefit from lowering systolic blood pressure (SBP) in people ≥80 years of age, but nonrandomized epidemiological studies suggest lower SBP may be associated with higher mortality. This study aimed to evaluate associations of SBP with all-cause mortality by frailty category >80 years of age and to evaluate SBP trajectories before death. METHODS A population-bas...
