TL;DR: Results imply that a woman in a monogamous union faces only moderate increases in the probability of becoming sterile (or infecund) until her late thirties, and appears that recent changes in reproductive behavior were guaranteed to result in the perception that infecunda is on the rise.

TL;DR: The state of the art of age, period and cohort analysis for demographic dependent variables is reviewed and a set of models of age patterns of mortality that are based on cohort as well as period experience could be constructed with useful applications.

TL;DR: The high prevalence among older adults suggests likely HIV infection at older ages, and prevention activities need to expand to older adults to reduce new infections.

TL;DR: The INDEPTH WHO–SAGE collaboration demonstrates the value and future possibilities for this type of research in informing policy and planning for a number of countries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a challenge to the Malthusian view that historically famines have been a consequence of overpopulation relative to available resources, and they show that unless famine intensities increase greatly there is little likelihood that famines will be a major determinant of population growth in the future.
