Life and Death in Norway and the United States

Редакционная заметка и статья в Jama на тему жизни и смерти, то есть по демографии. Статьи на самом деле про жизнь, там ищут объяснения времени наступления смерти.
Видимо, надо искать в другом месте/или времени?

Life Expectancy by Income in US Dollars in Norway and the United States, 2001-2014


The solid lines represent predicted life expectancy estimated from a fractional polynomial of income. Life expectancy was estimated by a combination of actual mortality rates (individuals aged 40-76 years), forecasted mortality rates (individuals aged 77-90 years), and uniform sex-specific mortality rates (individuals aged ≥91 years) and was presented as expected age at death for individuals aged 40 years. Estimates were based on comparable populations in Norway and the United States according to Chetty et al.1 The top income percentile was omitted for scaling purposes. The mean household income for US men in the top percentile was US $1.98 million and their expected age at death was 87.3 years. Corresponding numbers in Norwegian men were US $0.53 million and 86.5 years. The mean household income for US women in the top percentile was US $1.92 million and their expected age at death was 88.9 years. Corresponding numbers in Norwegian women were US $0.51 million and 88.9 years. The income variable was pretax household income for both the United States and Norway. Norwegian kroner was translated into US dollars using the 2011 individual consumption expenditure by household value of 9.797 from the International Comparison Program (http://www.worldbank.org/en/programs/icp#5).
