[The use of years of life lost for measuring the level and change of mortality].

"The use of the new index of years of life lost allows us to relate mortality by age and causes of death to the change of the life expectancy, at birth or between any given ages. This index replaces the use of the multiple decrement life tables for analyzing the impact of the change in mortality by age and cause of death on the life expectancies....The article presents the theoretical derivation of the index, some examples of its use, and a detailed calculation." Examples provided include Mexico, Chile, and Argentina. (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Adult mortality in developing countries: a global overview].

"The article analyzes [selected] developing countries with reliable information on adult mortality between ages 15 and 65 years....A brief analysis of each country indicates the following aspects. Females maintained a more sustained and systematic decline of adult mortality than males. There are some countries that in spite of reasonable development, as Mexico, still have a great excess of male mortality in relation to other countries. Finally, some countries experienced a stagnation of the male mortality decline, while females continued benefiting from a decline of mortality." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Variations on the theme of logistic function].

"The use of the logistic function in demographic techniques and analyses has increased significantly during recent years. Nevertheless, not too much attention has been given to the function of the constants nor to the consequences of the implicit assumptions when the function is used for estimating some demographic parameters. In this article, the author underlines the meaning of the constants in the logistic function when applied in some demographic cases, and gives some examples of the assumptions involved in the application of the logistic to the trends of urban/rural populations, life expectancies, and the logit transformation."

Measuring and explaining the change in life expectancies.

A set of new indices for interpreting change in life expectancies, as well as a technique for explaining change in life expectancies by change in mortality at each age group are presented in the paper. The indices, as well as the new technique for explaining the differences in life expectancies, have been tested and examples using United States life tables are presented. The technique for explaining life expectancy differentials can be used for analyzing change in mortality or mortality differentials by sex, ethnicity, region, or any other subpopulations. The technique can be applied to life expectancies at birth or temporary life expectancies between any desirable ages.

[A comparative analysis of mortality in the Americas].

"The analysis concentrates on the mortality of [the] adult population at ages 15 to 74 in 8 countries of the American continent.... Results are presented by age, sex and principal groups of causes of death. It is concluded that: a) mortality can significantly decline further in the Americas; b) there are noticeable mortality differentials by cause among countries; [and] c) all the countries still have excess mortality in certain age groups and causes of death, and hence, the mortality transition has not ended."

[Comments on some indexes to measure the level and change of mortality].

"The level and change of mortality can be measured in several ways not only because [of] the selected index, but also because of the way that the mortality change is measured. This document considers the indexes more frequently used for measuring the level of mortality, including the one of years of life lost recently developed. Each index is analyzed in relation to its accuracy for measuring the level and change of mortality, and advantages and disadvantages of each of them are discussed. The index years of life lost is presented with some details, since it was developed rather recently." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
