The effects of increasing longevity and changing incidence on lifetime risk differentials: A decomposition approach

Increasing longevity can distort time trends in summary measures of health and mortality, such as the lifetime risk of getting diseased. If not observing a cohort, this lifetime risk is calculated with cross-sectional data on age-specific incidence and survival. In those instances, incidence and sur...
