Document Summary
Note: gray is often used for missing data in maps (notes corresponding to ) #10: race is still a significant marker: death rates. #11: world life expectancy differs significantly from nation/local life expectancy. Life expectancy calculated on demand: doesn"t account for life expectancy changes. #13: stark contrast between global north & global south. A good example of the maps required in assignment 2. #18: differences start to occur around late 20s for non-hispanic black males. Abridged table because it has age groups; unabridged tables have every year. Assumes that asfrs remain constant throughout a cohort"s lifespan (death rates by age and sex) #23: from <1 to 4, a sharp drop, then flat, then general increase. #26: more racial markers: note where gains are greatest. #27: distinctions between neonatal and post-neonatal, instead of just infant morality. Care of premature babies has significantly brought down neonatal mortality. #29: note: if you"ve already made significant gains, subsequent declines may be less.
