Deaths: final data for 2006.

TL;DR: Mortality patterns in 2006, such as the decline in the age-adjusted death rate to a record historical low, were generally consistent with long-term trends, and life expectancy increased in 2006 from 2005.

In search of Methuselah: estimating the upper limits to human longevity.
TL;DR: Results indicate that in order for life expectancy at birth to increase from present levels to what has been referred to as the average biological limit to life (age 85), mortality rates from all causes of death would need to decline at all ages by 55%, and at ages 50 and over by 60%.

TL;DR: An introduction to event history analysis via multi-state models is given, including the two-state model for survival analysis, the competing risks and illness-death models, and models for bone marrow transplantation.

Measuring and explaining the change in life expectancies
TL;DR: A set of new indices for interpreting change in life expectancies, as well as a technique for explaining change inlife expectancies by change in mortality at each age group are presented in the paper.

The analysis of failure times in the presence of competing risks.
Ross L. Prentice,John D. Kalbfleisch,A. V. Peterson,Nancy Flournoy,Vernon T. Farewell,Norman E. Breslow +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the problem of estimation of failure rates under the removal of certain causes is not well posed until a mechanism for cause removal is specified, and a method involving the estimation of parameters that relate time-dependent risk indicators for some causes to cause-specific hazard functions for other causes is proposed for the study of interrelations among failure types.

Changing Concepts of Morbidity and Mortality in the Elderly Population
TL;DR: The main geographic focus of the study is on the United States and the need to obtain information to plan for a rapidly aging population is emphasized.
