1 Background The methodologies described in this paper belong to a small subset of a
broader set of methods developed to produce adjusted estimates of adult mortality for …

Background Estimates of completeness of death registration are crucial to produce
estimates of life tables and population projections and to estimate the burden of disease …

Testing theories about human senescence and longevity demands accurate information on
older-adult mortality; this is rare in low-to middle-income countries where raw data may be …

Background The analytical evaluations of the completeness of death registration (DR)
originate from stable population models. In stationary populations, the number of deaths …

Introduction Many national and subnational governments need to routinely measure the

Background The study aims to assess two approaches that apply the empirical
completeness method to generate age-specific mortality statistics from incomplete death …

Accurate knowledge of adult mortality levels and trends in the developing world is hampered
by its widespread lack of complete vital registration systems. Although knowledge of infant …

Background: Omissions and misreported ages in both death and exposure data cause bias
in mortality and life expectancy estimates. Most discussions of data errors have focused on a …

" This article investigates whether misreporting of ages contributes to the apparently low
mortality at older ages in Latin America. It compares the size of cohorts enumerated at two …
