AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates survival patterns and ages at death among centenarians in Norway, particularly focusing on individuals born between 1870 and 1904.
- Utilizing high-quality data from the Norwegian Civil Register System, researchers applied quantile regression to analyze trends in lifespans.
- Findings indicate no significant increase in centenarian lifespans in Norway, aligning with similar results from Sweden, but differing from the trends seen in Denmark.
Article Abstract
Background: With rapidly rising life expectancy and ageing populations, interest has grown in the survival patterns and ages at death at the highest ages. In Scandinavia, the accumulation of very old population segments coupled with long-established, high-quality population registers permit meaningful analysis.
Methods: This study is based on individual level data from extinct Norwegian birth cohorts using data obtained from the Norwegian Civil Register System. We assess trends in the ages at death of centenarians in Norway for cohorts born between 1870 and 1904 for evidence of any secular increase using quantile regression.
Results: We observed that there is no upward trend in centenarian lifespans, in line with recent observations in Sweden, but contrary to the upward trend at the very highest percentiles as observed in Denmark.
Conclusions: .
