Disparities in length of life across developed countries: Measuring and decomposing changes over time within and between country groups
Timonin, Sergey; Shkolnikov, Vladimir M.; Jasilionis, Domantas; Grigoriev, Pavel; Jdanov, Dmitri A.; Leon, David Adrew (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-11)Background. Over the past half century the global tendency for improvements in longevity has been uneven across countries. This has resulted in widening of inter-country disparities in life expectancy. Moreover, the pattern of divergence appears to be driven in part by processes at the level of country groupings defined in geopolitical terms. A systematic quantitative analysis of this phenomenon has ... -
Trends in life expectancy and age-specific mortality in England and Wales, 1970-2016, in comparison with a set of 22 high-income countries: an analysis of vital statistics data
Leon, David Adrew; Jdanov, Dmitri A.; Shkolnikov, Vladimir M.

What should be the baseline when calculating excess mortality? New approaches suggest that we have underestimated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and previous winter peaks
Shkolnikov, Vladimir M.; Klimkin, Ilya; McKee, Martin; Jdanov, Dmitri A.; Alustiza-Galarza, Ainhoa; Németh, László; Timonin, Sergey A.; Nepomuceno, Marília R.; Andreev, Evgeny M.; Leon, David A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-18)Excess mortality has been used to measure the impact of COVID-19 over time and across countries. But what baseline should be chosen? We propose two novel approaches: an alternative retrospective baseline derived from the lowest weekly death rates achieved in previous years and a within-year baseline based on the average of the 13 lowest weekly death rates within the same year. These baselines express ...
