“…In 2010, it is observed that in addition to those regions, other mesoregions in the Central, Northeast and North of the country also present a large concentration of deaths above 65. A similar aging process has been observed in other countries 24 and could have a direct impact on the quality of mortality data across Brazilian regions. Some authors identify that a significant percentage of ill-defined deaths occurred at home without an attending physician making it more complicated to identify the correct cause of death 1,25 .…”

This paper examines the spatial pattern of ill-defined causes of death across Brazilian regions, and its relationship with the evolution of completeness of the deaths registry and changes in the mortality age profile. We make use of the Brazilian Health Informatics Department mortality database and population censuses from 1980 to 2010. We applied demographic methods to evaluate the quality of mortality data for 137 small areas and correct for under-registration of death counts when necessary. The second part of the analysis uses linear regression models to investigate the relationship between, on the one hand, changes in death counts coverage and age profile of mortality, and on the other, changes in the reporting of ill-defined causes of death. The completeness of death counts coverage increases from about 80% in 1980-1991 to over 95% in 2000-2010 at the same time the percentage of ill-defined causes of deaths reduced about 53% in the country. The analysis suggests that the government’s efforts to improve data quality are proving successful, and they will allow for a better understanding of the dynamics of health and the mortality transition.

“…At that time, the increase in life expectancy was given a significant boost by the adult and elderly age groups, whose mortality continued to decline, especially among the female population, and has done so until today (Gómez Redondo 1995;Gómez Redondo and Boe 2005;Canudas et al 2008). The resultant dynamics brought about a growing compression and a shift in mortality (Wilmoth 1997;Wilmoth and Horiuchi 1999;Robine 2001;Meslé and Vallin 2003), which in the last instance may be said to have led to an "aging" of the age of death, raising every longevity indicator, and bringing about a rectangularization of the survival curve.…”

The book series European Studies of Population (ESPO) aims at disseminating population and family research, with special relevance for Europe. It may analyse past, present and/or future trends, as well as their determinants and consequences. The character of the series is multidisciplinary, including formal demographic analyses, as well as social, economic and/or historical population and family studies. The following types of studies are of primary importance: (a) internationally relevant studies, (b) European comparative studies, (c) innovative theoretical and methodological studies, and (d) policy-relevant scientific studies. The series may include monographs, edited volumes and reference works. The book series is published under the auspices of the European Association for Population Studies (EAPS).

Este trabajo describe y explica de forma interdisciplinar las tendencias recientes de la esperanza de vida al nacimiento en España. Se utilizan dos metodologías: regresión lineal segmentada y descomposición de la esperanza de vida. El estudio consta de tres partes. Primero, se describen los factores demográficos que se encuentran tras el aumento de más de 40 años en la esperanza de vida al nacimiento de 1910 a 2009. Segundo, se analiza el efecto que el cambio de la mortalidad, por causa de muerte, en mayores de 65 años ha tenido en esa esperanza de vida en 1980-2009. Y tercero, se aportan las causas socioepidemiológicas que hay detrás de dicho incremento. Se concluye que ese aumento se debe principalmente a la reducción de la mortalidad en las edades avanzadas y a la disminución de la mortalidad por enfermedades cardiovasculares.
