Loss of partner and suicide risks among oldest old: a population-based register study (2004)
Erlangsen, Annette, Jeune, Bernard, Bille-Brahe, Unni, Vaupel, James W.
Background: while mortality among the oldest old has improved over recent decades, these improvements are not reflected in the suicide mortality of this age group. We do not know the reasons why the...
Christensen, Kaare, Gaist, David, Vaupel, James W., McGue, Matt
In a previous cross-sectional study of twins, the authors found evidence of a substantial genetic influence on functional abilities among elderly women. It has been suggested that rate of change in...
Reproductive History and Mortality Later in Life for Austrian Women. (1999)
Gabriele Doblhammer, James W. Vaupel, Gabriele Doblhammer, Max Planck, Gabriele Doblhammer, James W. Vaupel
How does a woman’s reproductive history influence her life span? We find that parity and both an early and late birth significantly influence longevity. The impact of a woman’s reproductive...
Biodemographic trajectories of longevity (1998)
James W. Vaupel, James R. Carey, Kaare Christensen, Thomas E. Johnson, Anatoli I. Yashin, Niels V. Holm, ...
Old-age survival has increased substantially since 1950. Death rates decelerate with age for insects, worms, and yeast, as well as humans. This evidence of extended postreproductive survival is...
No Increased Mortality in Later Life for Cohorts Bom during Famine (1997)
Kannisto, Väinö, Christensen, Kaare, Vaupel, James W.
Nutrition early in life may influence adult mortality. The fetal-origins hypothesis suggests that nourishment before birth and during the individual's infancy programs the development of risk factors...
Exceptional longevity does not result in excessive levels of disability
Christensen, Kaare, McGue, Matt, Petersen, Inge, Jeune, Bernard, Vaupel, James W.
Late-life loss of independence in daily living is a central concern for the aging individual and for society. The implications of increased survival to advanced age may be different at the population...
