Adherence to diabetes guidelines for screening, physical activity and medication and onset of complications and death.
(J Diabetes Complications, 2015-11)AIMS: Analyze relationships between adherence to guidelines for diabetes care - regular screening; physical activity; and medication - and diabetes complications and mortality. METHODS: Outcomes were onset of congestive ... -
Cross-national comparison of sex differences in health and mortality in Denmark, Japan and the US.
(Eur J Epidemiol, 2010-07)The present study aims to compare the direction and magnitude of sex differences in mortality and major health dimensions across Denmark, Japan and the US. The Human Mortality Database was used to examine sex differences ... -
DNA methylation age is associated with mortality in a longitudinal Danish twin study.
(Aging Cell, 2016-02)An epigenetic profile defining the DNA methylation age (DNAm age) of an individual has been suggested to be a biomarker of aging, and thus possibly providing a tool for assessment of health and mortality. In this study, ... -
Dynamics of biomarkers in relation to aging and mortality.
(Mech Ageing Dev, 2016-06)Contemporary longitudinal studies collect repeated measurements of biomarkers allowing one to analyze their dynamics in relation to mortality, morbidity, or other health-related outcomes. Rich and diverse data collected ... -
Effect of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 in 0.9% sodium chloride (Voluven®) on complications after subarachnoid hemorrhage: a retrospective analysis.
(Springerplus, 2013-12)BACKGROUND: 6% Hydroxyethyl Starch 130/0.4 in 0.9% Sodium Chloride (Voluven®; 6% HES 130/0.4) is a colloid often used for fluid resuscitation in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), despite a lack of safety data ... -

Global, regional, and national disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 359 diseases and injuries and healthy life expectancy (HALE) for 195 countries and territories, 1990-2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.
(Lancet (London, England), 2018-11)BACKGROUND:How long one lives, how many years of life are spent in good and poor health, and how the population's state of health and leading causes of disability change over time all have implications for policy, planning, ... -
How Costly Are Smokers to Other People? Longitudinal Evidence on the Near Elderly
(2001)Many studies have estimated the cost of smoking. In recent years, such estimates have been widely used in litigation against the tobacco companies. Both longitudinal and cross-sectional methods have been used. On balance, ... -
How the effects of aging and stresses of life are integrated in mortality rates: insights for genetic studies of human health and longevity.
(Biogerontology, 2016-02)Increasing proportions of elderly individuals in developed countries combined with substantial increases in related medical expenditures make the improvement of the health of the elderly a high priority today. If the process ... -
Human mortality improvement in evolutionary context.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2012-10-30)Life expectancy is increasing in most countries and has exceeded 80 in several, as low-mortality nations continue to make progress in averting deaths. The health and economic implications of mortality reduction have been ... -
[More people live to be very old and with a better functioning].
(Ugeskr Laeger, 2013-10-07)Death rates for 80+-year-olds are now half of what they were after WWII. The chance of living past 90 years has gone up by roughly 30% per decade for people born in Denmark in 1895, 1905, and 1915 - and the later cohorts ... -
Power and sample size calculations for the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test in the presence of death-censored observations.
(Stat Med, 2015-02-10)We consider a clinical trial of a potentially lethal disease in which patients are randomly assigned to two treatment groups and are followed for a fixed period of time; a continuous endpoint is measured at the end of follow-up. ... -
Predictors of Death Among HIV-Infected Adults Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy in Tanzania
(2018)Introduction: Mortality among HIV-infected individuals in sub-Saharan Africa, the region most affected by the HIV epidemic, has declined remarkably since the rapid scale-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Despite encouraging ... -
Recovery and survival from aging-associated diseases.
(Exp Gerontol, 2013-08)OBJECTIVES: Considering disease incidence to be a main contributor to healthy lifespan of the US elderly population may lead to erroneous conclusions when recovery/long-term remission factors are underestimated. Using two ... -
Sex differences in health and mortality in Moscow and Denmark.
(Eur J Epidemiol, 2014-04)In high income countries females outlive men, although they generally report worse health, the so-called male-female health-survival paradox. Russia has one of the world's largest sex difference in life expectancy with a ... -
Skewed X inactivation and survival: a 13-year follow-up study of elderly twins and singletons.
(Eur J Hum Genet, 2012-03)In mammalian females, one of the two X chromosomes is inactivated in early embryonic life. Females are therefore mosaics for two cell populations, one with the maternal and one with the paternal X as the active X chromosome. ... -
Steep increase in best-practice cohort life expectancy.
(Popul Dev Rev, 2011)We analyze trends in best-practice life expectancy among female cohorts born from 1870 to 1950. Cohorts experience declining rather than constant death rates, and cohort life expectancy usually exceeds period life expectancy. ... -
Tagging Red Drum in North Carolina: Esitmating Exploitation, Mortlaity, Tag Retention, and Tag Reporting Rates for Increased Accuracy of Stock Assessments
(2017-04-21)Red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) is the largest inshore game fish in North Carolina, making it highly valuable to the state’s economy. In the 1980’s red drum were overfished due to lack of regulations, causing stock assessments ... -
