| Description: |
Whether increasing life expectancy leads to better health remains still controversial. The authors contribute to the discussion on trends and patterns in health among the elderly by focusing on vanguard groups, the social and behavioral determinants of health, and the trends and patterns among vulnerable groups, particularly migrants. |
| Synopsis: |
Whether increasing life expectancy leads to better health remains still controversial. Three topics are explored: (1) vanguard groups which inform about possible levels of health if the general social and environmental conditions were to approach those of the vanguard group; (2) the social and behavioral determinants of health differentiated into proximal and distal factors; (3) vulnerable groups such as migrants and the health differences between migrant groups. Newly available population-based data as well as new study designs and advanced statistical modelling form the basis for the empirical analyses. |
